Reply to "Runner Knocks Off 1B Mitt With Ball In It"

There are 3 scenarios I see here.

1. The 1b has control of the ball and the foot on the bag. Runner is out and whatever happens after that could be incidental contact and ball would be live - allowing runners at other bases to advance.

2. Ball and runner reach the glove simultaneously - thus the 1b never had control. Runner safe ball live.

3. 1b had control of the ball but attempted to tag the runner as the foot was pulled from the bag at the point the ball was in control. Runner safe ball live.

This is all under the assumption the contact happened on the baseline and the runner was not in the fair territory (outside the running lane). Then you have runner interference - runner out - ball dead and possible placement of other baserunners.

This is a had to be there - had to see it play to make one definitive call.
