In a baseball game last night at our little league park, there was a play at home plate where the baserunner was clearly tagged on the stomach prior to reaching the plate on a sliding play. As he continued his slide, the ball fell out of the catcher's glove as his chin hit the glove. The umpire called the runner out even though the ball was loose from the catcher. His ruling was that the runner was out on the initial contact, not the second contact with the glove during the play, which knocked the ball loose. Should the runner have been safe or out?
