Newbie Scott, perhaps I assumed (***-u-me) incorrectly.
I have had similar play at 3rd. Runner slides and touches the base but continues to slide past the base.
After the initial touch the force is off. However he is now off the base and in jeopardy.
If this was your case, I would not make any call until the play was finished - OUT if the runner is tagged while off the base, or a SAFE if the runner gets back to the base before being tagged.
NOW, as Pete is suggesting that the runner DID NOT TOUCH the base and simply slid by missing everything... the force is still on. If the fielder now touches the base... this is the time for an emphatic OUT call and a sell that the runner did not touch the base on his way through.
