Got it. THank you. I saw a play in a tournament last weekend where the fielder fielded the ball on the base line and got the out. The runner ran around the fielder and continued to 1st but the throw clearly beat her. There was a conference between one team and the umps. They changed the original out call to safe. I wasn't close enough to hear the reasoning.
Sitting behind keyboard seems like wrong call.
Yeah. The throw was right on and 1st baseman didn't really stretch for the ball much so I don't think she pulled her foot. The runner definitely went outside the 3 ft. line into foul territory. I couldn't figure out a scenario where they would change the call to safe.
After some research on the subject, I was shocked to find out that umpires are actually humans.
