I agree with everything you all have said and pointed out. I know my point on this doesnt matter and the rule book is our law in umpiring also agree there is no choice but to call the play the way it is written when the runner is past the bag BUT on all the other bases a runner has to pass the bag to have missed the bag and be eligable for appeal but on this double base if the runners foot is on white which doesnt exist for the runner on this type of play we are ruling the runner is not out.
Okay move the same situation to second base on a force the runner is even with second before the throw but their foot is 6"s to the left of the bag. Would you ring her up or say she has overrun the bag so the runner is safe on the force and would have to be tag out??
Thanks for the replies
Don
