Defenders make the play on the runner going home.
I'll assume that this means the runner was tagged out, which would essentially be a live ball appeal. Either way, he was out for being tagged off a base.
I think the PU called time prematurely, since the ball should have remained live and the runner from first base was still at risk. Maybe he never would have made it back to first base unless he was sneaky fast or just sneaky.
But when time was called, the runner lost the ability to correct his baserunning mistake.
Was it handled perfectly? Probably not. Handled best as could be expected? Meh - sorta.
