tetris,

Welcome to the board. The runner is out as long as the defense tagged the base with the ball in their possession prior to the runner.

BTW, your scenario set-up implies baseball. Just so you know, most major softball scenarios have the offense players designated in the order in which they came to the plate that half-inning. IOW, with bases loaded and no outs in a half-inning, R1 is on 3B, R2 on 2b, R3 on 1B, B4 at bat, B5 on deck and B6 in the hole.

Hope you enjoy the discussions here,
