F6 reaches out with the non-glove hand and touches second base well before R1 arrives.
BU calls runner SAFE!!!!!!!
Defensive coach comes out to calmly discuss call. BU tells him that F6 must tag second base with her foot to get the out. DC goes to the PU.
PU agrees with BU call and reason!!!!
I'm up in the scorer's booth on my off game watching all of this, I saw the DC hand the PU money and said....we've got a protest!
When the BU came upstairs and told us what the protest was about, the site UIC, myself, and another umpire in the room just about fell over.
We told both him and the PU that they were wrong and to give the coach his money back.
These two guys did not last very much longer in the tournament

Been there, done that, always glad to see that it happens to somebody else.
