As Rich stated earlier if the defense does not make a play (i.e. start taggin everyone) there is no direction in the rule to call anyone out.
This could fall along the lines of umpires not knowing penalities such as what occurs in a real baseball game when a batter throws his bat.

This is another case of being able to read but not comprehending what is read.
Even if there are two runners standing on the base, only one legally occupies it. In other words, if you tag both runners standing on the base, one WILL be out.
7.03 is a rule that, in essence, means that a base is not necessarily a safe haven for a base runner. A runner can be put out, even if standing on a base.
