Catch/No-Catch

[Bailey8]

What would the call be and awards for runner? R1 and no outs, batter hits fly foul here fence on first base side. First baseman runs towards fence, makes the catch with control, momentum carries first baseman into 4' fence. The glove and ball go over the fence where the ball falls out of the glove into dead ball area.

Is this a catch and if it is, does R1 get a base award?

Agreed, "FOUL BALL!"

Tim is one of my favorites. I love how his personality comes out on the field, not to mention his strength in calling the game. I went to a game with my sister once (Nats v Braves) so I really didn't care for either of the teams too much. But when I saw Tim Tschida at 2nd, I told my sister, "Alright the umpire at second is Tim Tschida, he's one of my favorites."

My sister looked at me and said, "You're the only moron out of the 10,000 plus people here that know or care who he is, and definately the only one to get excited about him being there."

Let's put a twist in this...

Let's say the fielder did make the catch in foul territory, but the momentom carried him over the fence. What do you have?

If he holds the ball, I have an out and R1 is awarded one base.

Tim was one of my instructors at the MLB camp a few years back. I have to say, he took his place on my short list of favorite umpires after that. What a fun guy he truly is!
