"the baseman tags the base and or runner, making it an out."

The only way an out can be made by tagging the base, is on a force play, or the BR at 1B. Of course, the fielder must have the ball in his/her possession.

And, as others have written, once time is called, one of the requirements for the ball to become live again is for the pitcher to be in possession of the ball.

All those people who make up these local "rules" shpould be barred from ball fields for life. They cause nothing but trouble when they "think" they know better than professional rules makers.
