I was watching ESPN and saw a play that made me think. I don't know if bases where loaded or not, but R1 attempting to score from 3rd, missed home. The catcher had bobbled the ball and instead of tagging the runner, just stepped on home. The umpire called him out. I'm wondering how this applies to softball. Any time a runner misses a base, can they just step on the base for an out (live ball appeal)? It doesn't matter that the runner was still on the playing field attempting to make it back to the missed base, does it?

Thanks!
