How does that happen?
From improper mechanics. That's how that happens.
The runner is the BU's responsibility - he should be buttonhooking toward 1st and watching for obstruction as well as the tag or force out situation. Obviously he wasn't watching anything.
I work with so many partners whom I just can't seem to convince to watch their runner... They like to watch the ball out in left field or just seem to watch nothing, only being intent upon getting into position for a play at second... which they aren't watching.
DUH!
I didn't see this play so I don't KNOW what happened but it sounds like poor mechanics.
