I had a play similar to #2 a few years ago. BR hit a roller that F1 fielded 5 feet fair about 15 feet from 1B. F1, on the move, tagged BR, who had slowed somewhat to avoid crashing. But the ball popped out and rolled across the foul line. As F1 reached to pick it up, she and BR stumbled as their feet caught briefly.

I had no call, because the ball never left F1's immediate vicinity. F1's foot was on the baseline as she stretched into foul territory to pick up the ball and throw to F3 for the out. Had the ball been steps away, I would have had OBS, but it was close enough that F1 could grab it right away and make the play. But I admit that even today I'm not sure I got it right. Maybe Classic Sports Network will re-run the game someday and I'll get a chance to review it.
