So here's the scenario from the game tonight.
No runners on. Batter hits ball to pitcher who overthrows 1B. Batter goes to 2nd. Ball arrives in the glove of SS who has a foot on the bag BEFORE baserunner arrives. No tag is applied. Baserunner turns up to go to 3B and is turned back by 3B Coach. SS still has not tagged runner. Runner is called out.
Shouldn't that runner be safe?
