Uncaught 3rd Strike/Foul Tip
Not sure how I would have ruled this at game speed. Sure glad I saw it in a quiz on MyReferee (on Arbiter):
R1 is on first base with two outs and a 1-2 count on B1. The pitch bounces in front of the plate and B1 swings and fouls the ball sharply and directly to F2’s glove. The ball deflects off F2’s chest protector and F2 then firmly grasps the ball. B1 bolts for first and arrives safely at first without a play while R1 makes second base safely.
I'm prepared to take a razzing for not instantly knowing the call. The bounce before the foul tip got me... what happens after is basic stuff.
