Did I call this right?

NCAA - R1 on 3rd - 2 outs I am 1st base ump.

BR hits the ball to F6, she fires to 1st but the BR on her last stride comes up about an inch or so short of the base and then is crossing the base when the ball arrives. I called the out.

Should I have called safe and waited for an appeal?

Yes.


If a runner passes 1B before the throw arrives, she considered to have
touched the base unless an appeal play is made before she returns to 1B.
