Just to take off on a tangent, an overrun and an overslide are not the same thing.

For instance, if the batter tries to stretch a single into a double, but overruns second base and is tagged out before getting back, he is credited with a double. But if a batter tries to stretch a single into a double, but overslides second base and is tagged out before getting back, he is credited with a single. (Or is it the other way around? I always forget.)
