Not really a hijack
Last night’s LLWS Wash vs.Minn. Runner on 1st, popup directly over base, F3 trips over base (or runner’s leg ?) while backing up to catch the ball and misses it. Ball lands fair, runner out at 2nd on force. Runner clearly leaning as far away as possible while keeping contact.
TH said runner must vacate the base to allow the catch, even though he would obviously be out on catch with fielder touching the base.
