I just wanted some opinions on this situation that happen yesterday.

I was working a college game yesterday in a two man system. I believe the bases were loaded. I was in the B position. There was a ball hit to right-center field. The center fielder did not catch the ball. The BR overran 1st base, but never really turned the corner. R1 was yo-yoing between first and second and was closer to first than second base. As the ball clearly was not caught, R1 was attempting to go back to 1st base. Then R1 took off for second base and reached second without a play. I did not have the best angle, but it did not look like at all that the BR turned the corner past R1. It looked mostly like the BR barely got past the foul line after running past the base (as if there was a play at first base).

Now I know what the rule is and that is not my question. I am asking a philosophy question. Would you consider the BR running past R1 in this case? Why would you call this an out? Why would you not call this out? I feel I called this right as to my philosophy, but I just want to know if others have their own ideas to what should be considered.

Peace
