Triple play or call batter out runners stay on 1st and 2nd or What?

Answer
Hi clay,

In ASA you must actually catch and the intentionally drop the ball.  Other orgs are not as strict.

If we call an ID, the ball is dead, b-r out and runners return.

Obviously I would have to see the play to know the correct call.
