R1 stepped back in plenty of time. F3 had one foot on top of the bag instead of against the side of the bag. R1 stepped on top of F3's foot not touching the bag at all when tagged. Should F3's foot have been considered part of the bag because it was on top of it or should R1 have been called out for not touching the bag? I called him safe.

Brent,
I would have
guessed the runner safe, also.
If, the runner had stepped on the glove with the ball, though....
