Situation:
Defensive player with possession of the ball and in legal position as offensive player begins slide. Defensive player loses possession of ball as she attempts tag on runner. The ball falls between the runner and the defensive player who scrambles for control and the tag. The ball is loose, on the ground, and along the base line between the runner and the base. Defensive player reaches for the ball as the runner slides. She grabs the ball and is met by the sliding runner, and tags her out, a foot before the base.
Anything here?

Depends... was the runner impeded by the defender while the defender did not have the ball?
