likely indeed

I get this situation frequently at first base during adult AA slow-pitch. A batter-runner comes around first base and the defense throws behind him or her attempting the putout as he/she returns. Quite often the runner's foot will wind up on top of 1B's foot (my guys and gals hardly ever slide), and almost as often the first baseman will point to that as proof of the out. Which it is, as Mike said, IF the catch was made first, and you have to be watching two places for that.
