mechanics check

In a LLBWS game, a runner reached third sliding and then stood up. His right foot was next to the base but not touching.
His celebration action lifted his left foot off the base and he was tagged out. Would you have been watching?

Yes, I know the fielder was standing there holding the ball unseen in his glove and they have 4 umpires,
but it still needed to be seen, even with 2 umpires (or maybe 1).

Pardon being curt but that's your job.
