TWP - 2 pop ups on the same field at the same time
Your game is on one of those softball complexes where the fields are back-to-back. R1 on 3B. Batter hits a towering pop up over the infield. At nearly the same time, the batter on field #2 hits a towering pop up, too, only this one goes behind the batter, up and over the backstops and over your infield. By the time you notice the two balls, you can't be sure which one belongs to your game. They are in nearly the same place at the same time.
a) One ball is caught by F4 and the other falls uncaught. b) One ball is caught by F4 and the other by F6. F6 tosses her ball to F5 who tags 3B before R1 can retouch. Whatchagonnacall?

Kill the play and do it over. Similar situation about 25 years ago when one of my buddies was doing baseball. He kept the spare ball in the pouch of his outside chest protector. Sliding play at the plate and the spare ball fell out and on the ground. The wrong ball got mixed up by the catcher who made the tag. ooops.

First - I am positive that F4 caught the correct ball. Out. Second - immediate dead ball, no further action happened, so no 2nd out.
