First of all I would like to thanks all for answers and help. It looks like I have booted that call, luckily it was only semifinal ;-)
This is probably situation when the rules are not much fair because umpire has to, IMHO, make call against the side which does not make any fault. While the defense should clearly avoid this 'race for tag' play by standard 3-1 play offense did everything right. Not only defence played it wrong but also with a high risk of severe injury, especialy when the F3 was twice as big as BR. Although I normaly respect rules and fully agree with your interpretation, I am not sure if I call it as out next time in youth league. Maybe I'll just see the runner beat the tag. It is close enough play anyway.
