    Reaction force is the ball pulling up on the Earth. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so when the Earth pulls on the baseball, the baseball pulls back on the Earth with equal force

    Nitro5315 is spot on. And the reason the ball "falls down" to the ground but the Earth doesn't seem to "fall up" to meet the ball is because the Earth's mass is so much larger than the ball. Nevertheless the Earth does in fact accelerate a little bit upward.
