I thought it was only little kids that did this

Mens Fastball -- Softball Canada

R1, one out. Batter pops ball up to right of pitcher. F1, F2, F3 and F4 converge on ball. No one calls it. At last second, F4 attempts catch, muffs it and ball bounces back towards backstop. Catcher, out of frustration I am guessing, throws mask at the ball and HITS IT.

R1 and B/R had stopped at 2 and 1 respectively. Penalty in this case seems a little severe.
