over officiating?...hmmmmm

[booker227]

Late Summer tournament, meaningful game. Bases are empty, with two outs. I'm the PU. Last at-bat and team B is mounting a comeback. A hard hit ball which the batter-runner tries to stretch into a double. She slides hard, and from my vantage point she beats the tag easily The BU, who has a 'rep' for being 'book', calls her out without hesitation, so I'm thinking dropped ball, but no, there it is. Third out, game over. The batter-runner breaks down on the way off the field. On our way off the field, I ask my partner about rhe play, not mentioning what I saw. He replies that yes she beat the tag, but while sliding into the bag field dirt came between her shoe and the bag, therefore, she wasn't legally touching the bag when tagged. I simply said, your call. What do my peers think about this?
