Curious if there was a rule broken on this, or if it was just an extreme version of "making the tag"
Runner on 1st trying to steal. SS covering base and throw takes her to 2B side. She catches ball at same time as colliding into runner (imagine a WR going over the middle and getting hit by a linebacker....) To try and help with timing of play, the runner would have been out by a couple steps with a good throw to the base. So where contact happened, both runner and SS were basically going full speed. Umpire called runner out because tag was made. (Glove hit runner in chest as impact occurred).
