When a defensive player is in possession of the ball with the runner approaching, the runner is required to slide, avoid, or surrender.
If the runner is doing one of these, the fielder needs to maintain control through the tagging process.
Doesn't sound like the runner did any of these. As described, I think I'd stay with my out call...
And the running lane isn't a factor in this play; if this happened between 1B and 2B, I'd have the same call.
