When is a Runner "Between" Bases?

The umpire called the trailing runner out based on his perception at the time that both runners were ON the base when the trailing runner was tagged. He then called out the lead runner for being tagged while he was (then) of the base.

Upon further review, he kicked the call. :shrug:

Do you know that for sure? I had been looking for an explanation of the call from the ump (to see if he kicked it or had a legitimate rationale), but found nothing. If you found an explanation from the ump or the league, please share. Thanks.

I haven't talked to the umpire himself, of course, but I believe the sources I have.
