Funny you should mention this. Today I saw the same thing while watching a scrimmage on the way home. Quick pick off attempt at first. Throw is off toward 2nd base side. F3 catches and makes a swoop tag attempt. Base ump makes the out call but immediately looks home asking "tag?". Plate guy says "missed her" and field ump immediately says safe. This all happened in a manner of a second or two but both umps were so clean with their mechanics that no one questioned it. It looked good.
