The batter-runner, after touching first base steps back toward home to see the game winning run score, The defense, knowing they can't get the runner at home, throws to F3, who tags the batter runner who is standing 3 feet in front of 1b (but who has already touched it), before the runner scores. What is the result? Does the defense win by a run, it is a tie game, or does the home team win with 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th.

If they can make a throw to 1B to tag a RUNNER before the runner from 2B gets to the plate, they probably had time to throw home for a play.
