Have you an out?

[WestMichBlue]

ASA Rules: runner sliding into base, tag is applied just prior to foot reaching base. But contact causes the ball to come out of the glove after the tag. The ball does not touch the ground; the fielder regains control of the ball in her glove after the runner's foot touches the base.

Out, Right?

Sit. 2 - after the ball comes lose, it touches the offensive player before the defender regains control. Ball did not touch ground.

Is this a legal catch if the ball goes from defender to offensive player and back to defender without touching the ground?
