BTW, why didn't the runner in your example take a turn at first on his clean single to left field?
My partner used that as an example.

J/R page 43 clearly says "A BR cannot be tagged out when overrunning 1B after advancing to such a base on a batted ball, uncaught strike three, or live ball award."

I guess that evidence should convince my partner.
