In regards to the OP:
I am not citing any rules in this post (I'm sure someone here could make an argument (with lots of rulebook citations) that the rules call for a specific ruling one way or the other for this play), however regardless of what OBR states, on the professional level a manager/coach would expect me to call the runner "safe" in the situtation described in the OP. I'd probably have to toss the 1B coach if I called him "out".
