Intentionally Dropped Ball

[JEL]

R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B, 0 Out - Batter hits line drive to F6, which F6 has enough control of to literally push the ball down directly in front of himself. Picks up ball tags R1(still standing on 2B) and steps on 2B and fires ball to 1B, trying to get triple play. I, as lone ump, call time call batter out and leave R1 on 2B and R2 on 1B with one out. I was wondering how some of you would have called it.

Would have had to seen it, but it sounds like you got it right.

"Merely guiding the ball to the ground should not be considered an intentionally dropped ball"

If that is NOT what you saw the B-R out, others return.

It's another "judgement call".
