Actually the size of the field is irrelevent. The issue is that runners are pinned to their base while the ball is in the air, while the batter is hot-footing it to 1B. You are never going to get the batter-runner out.
If the rule is designed to keep you from getting more outs (2 or 3) than you deserved (1), then you need at least 2 runners in force position.
