What transpired?
R3 less than 2 outs (I think 0 outs). Ground ball to F3, who records the force out at first base. F3 throws to F2. R3 looks like he is going to be toast. F2 (who is a few feet up the third base line) reaches out to his left to apply the tag on R3 (who is still running, as opposed to attempting to slide) only to find the HPU between him and the runner. R3 also manages to run into HPU. The HPU is in the middle of the play (he was standing 3-5 feet up the third base line, right near the foul line...click on the link I provided above...that picture will give you a pretty good idea of where everyone was).

R3 misses the plate (more than likely because of the contact with the HPU). F2 has not applied a tag. Instead of trying to go and touch the plate, R3 acts very upset (at the umpire) and continues backing up toward the backstop yelling at (or about) the umpire. F2 runs all the way to the backstop and tags R3.

Umpire, apparently was going to call R3 safe on some type of interference, but ultimately (after a crew huddle) they let the out stand.
