I thought the information in the original post should have been enough to make a definitive ruling but since this is apparently not covered by the rules of baseball and is a judgment call I can add a few facts.
I was the runner at 2nd in a league softball game. Since the ball was hit directly over the base F6 and the ball converged at the base and he made the catch while running into me standing on the base. I went down to the ground off the base (I don't know why that should be so startling when a body in motion makes contact with a body in place) and F6 tagged me (he did not have time to go out and get a beer).
It was not my intention to provoke a lengthy discussion but to get a ruling. What has followed has proved enlightening.
