I will always proclaim that the tie goes to the umpire , but I would be wrong.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have NEVER seen a tie . . .

Even though this isn't an ASA game and ASA rules do not apply, let's look at what Mike says. I'm looking at my trusty ASA rule book and 8.7.C says they are out if the fielder touches the base while in possession of the ball, tags the base or the runner BEFORE the runner reaches the base (my paraphrase). It's basically the same type of verbage you will find in the NF or NCAA rule book. Even though this isn't speaking of the BR I see nothing about a tie going to the runner. Am I overlooking something?
