Then what would you do if during a play at 2B, the throw clearly beats the runner and the tag is made before a runner crosses the plate. However, the umpire delays his call looking for the ball. By the time the ball is presented and the BU rules the runner out, the runner has crossed the plate.
Score the run?
The out occurs when the play occurs. The fact that there was a hesitation in the declaration of the out should be irrelevant to the application of corresponding rules.
