	What do you call when...
There is a runner on third base with nobody out. A fly ball is hit to
left field. The runner watches intently as the fielder runs hard to the
line to catch the ball. As soon as the ball hits the fielder's glove,
the runner is off towards home. But the fielder is running so hard that
the ball hits the heel of his glove and bounces off. He recovers quickly
to make the catch but by this time the runner is halfway home. The
fielder throws to third base and the third baseman tags the base. Is
the runner safe or out and why??????????
