Whose Call?

That may make things a bit different. The BU should be moving into position to make the call at 1B and may not see that one, the initial run up the line (runners lane and such) should go to the PU who is trailing the BR. A tag midway (or even further) would belong also to the PU. This one should be called by the plate guy, but again if he doesn't see, or call it the base guy should.

If neither sees it, well, maybe it didn't happen.
