Unless your talking about the lookback rule, the runner would have to be tagged.

If the runner violated the lookback rule, she would be out automatically. The base nor the runner would need to be tagged.

When you have a situation you've never seen, and think it looks peculiar enough to warrant an out, try to ask yourself what rule the runner has broken. In this case, even though the sitch probably registered to you as odd, there is no rule being broken (assuming no LBR violations), so no call.
