You've never seen that before, even in baseball?

Hard 1-hopper to F1 and the ball gets stuck in the webbing. She runs half-way to first base and tosses glove and ball to F3 who secures the entire package.

At no point did a fielder make a play with detached equipment.

F1 had the glove on when the ball lodged in the webbing. F3 had the glove on when securing the ball (surrounded by F1's glove).

I'm not sure if NFHS softball has a ruling on this but NFHS baseball has added an interpretation this year stating its legal.
