OK, so I never actually SAW this happen, but what if ...

- Batter bunts.
- Ball ends up directly front of home plate.
- As batter/runner heads to first, catcher picks up ball and attempts to tag him from behind.
- During the attempted tag, catcher immediately loses possession of the ball as it goes directly into batter/runner's back pocket -- and stays lodged there.

Questions:
Is he out?
If he's not out, can he keep running -- beyond first?
Can a fielder attempt to retrieve the ball before the ump calls time?

What's the call?

The ball is dead, the batter gets 1st.

Good question.
