Slow pitch playoff final tonight between two top teams, both stacked with local heroes who play for various strong tournament teams.
You're BU. Runner on 1B, no outs. Fifth inning, score is 18-17. Batter hits hard one-hopper to F6, who throws to F4 in plenty of time for the force out. F4 sets up and catches the ball with his left foot 8 to 10 inches to the 1B side of 2B, and his right foot 8 to 10 inches to the opposite side of the base. As he threw for the out at 1B, he made no attempt to touch 2B, and did not touch 2B, with either foot.
What would your call have been at 2B?

No brainer, safe.
