The easy answer is ... he's not.

The fielder has the ball and is between him and the base... why would you think there must be a way that he's "supposed" to get back to the base?

Exactly right. Sometimes the runner should just accept that he's going to be out.

Unless you have seen the entire play, I am not sure how anyone can make a call from the sitting position at home. There is just not enough shown here.

MC. Of course, I have the benefit of seeing it in slow-mo from a better angle than any of the umpires.
