As I stated before, though, many call it a different way.

Beat the ball, the call goes to the runner;
Ball beats the runner, the call goes to the defense;
Both get there at the same time, the call goes to the umpire!
Dont forget the adendums for clean/sloppy play and double play

No such thing as "ball and runner get there at same time"...if the BR does not touch the bag before the ball is caught--OUT!! (everytime)

Thank you for confirming exactly what the rule states.
