In hindsight I wish I would have waited and allowed D the chance at the DP but the runner was much bigger than SS and at first thought I figured he'd be knocked to the ground and never make the throw.
The SS asked for an explaination and his teammates supported my ruling so no issues.
How would you guys of handled this?

I know my reference, but of what rule were you thinking that enabled you to make this call?
