I'll be the first to get railed on.

Maybe reading too much into it, but I have a safe call.

USSSA definition:
TAG is the action of a Fielder touching a Base with any part of his body while holding the ball firmly and securely in his hand or glove. Also, Tag refers to touching the Runner with the ball, or with the glove holding the ball, while continuously holding the ball firmly and securely during and immediately following the tag.


In practice, I think I have always called this an out, but maybe I shouldn't be now that I look more closely.
