And 8-2-C says the same for a batter runner, they are out if they are put out PRIOR to reaching first base.
My personal philosphy: I listen for the pop of the ball and watch the runner's foot... if I hear the ball at the exact same time I see the foot, then the ball must have gotten there 3/10,000,000ths of a second sooner since sound travels slower then light.
That's assuming I'm about 10 feet away when I make the call. If I'm in "C", I'll adjust as needed.
