Thanks guys. I understand with what you are saying and how you are ruling on this. I just don't totally agree with how or the reasoning behind the actual rule. Any other time the runner is not out unless he is put out off the base basically. There is no rule which specifically says that the runner is out. 8-3-8 says once he acquires the base it is his unless force off. 8-4-2k is the rule that you guys are using. It just seems logical that if he is one the base and not forced off then he cannot be put out. Just thinking out loud. Thanks for the input.
