In the event that a runner is touching a base as he is being attempted to be retired(i.e., a tie) there is never a safe call. The rule says that the runner has to touch the bag BEFORE he or the bag is touched, whatever scenario applies, to be called safe. If it is a "tie", then he did not beat the throw or tag...therefore...OUT! JT
