The announcers get more wrong than right in these games, but in the ASU/Northwestern game just now, there was a play where we almost had two runners at the base at the same time (runner was tagged before reaching the base).
Color commentator, and I don't know who it is, said in the context of just tagging both runners if they're both on the base something to the effect of "The lead runner is always the one who is out."
This is, of course, false. The lead runner is always safe unless she is forced (this was not a force play).
Pretty sure this is the same announcer who, last night, when a slapper was called for a sliver of a toe being out of the box, acknowledged it was the correct call and then said the umpire should not have called it because of the situation (a close game).
