(ASA Rule Set)
Rule 8-3-C states: "When a runner dislodges a base from its proper position, that runner and trailing runner(s) in the same series of plays are not compelled to follow a base out of position."

The wording indicates that a trailing runner would be safe if they were standing in the vicinity of where the base originally was positioned, and were subsequently tagged.

My question is: Would the trail runner still be safe if they are standing on the dislodged base which was 8 feet behind second base, and are tagged?

Wasn't sure if the "not compelled" component of the rule covered both the area around the base (sans the base) AND the current position of the dislodged base.
