HI all looking for some back up on this which i am pretty sure of the answer myself but looking for the exact clarification. We had a situation the other night in which there was a runner on first and no outs. The batter proceeds to hit a groundball to the firstbaseman he catches it the runner runs back to firstbase and stands there. I instruct my 1st baseman to tag the runner first before tagging the base. He does but the umpire somehow calls him safe and the batter out. In my 30 plus years of baseball and softball always thought the runner was forced to run which should resulted in a double play. I argued the point for a few minutes then let it go so i ask please will a real umpire make the right call for me? By the way this was in an NSA adult leauge softball game (not that it matters).
