As I said above, I can see an interference call, but not a tag out.

Speaking ASA
This is true for all ASA ball, regardless of age level or discipline (Casebook 8.3-1, rules 8.3.A, 8.7.G)
Try not to confuse the two plays. I stand by my belief that they cannot be put out once touching the plate.
Although I believe this is a remote possibility, especially at 10U, if a runner who missed a base or left a base too soon attempts to return after touching the plate, they must retouch the plate as they return to 3B. Once they do, they once again become an active runner. This places them in jeopardy. Since there is still an active runner in motion, the play is not yet over.
Remember, the effects of the 10U rules do not take effect until the play is over.
Thanks,
