Take a look at this video from youtube. It is easier to pause the video at least for me. You can clearly see the tag of the glove on the runner during contact at the 1:00 minute mark.

The shot over the umpire's shoulder is basically useless as you lose any depth.

The angle from the side seems to be much better, but I don't think there is anything is clear. If you look closely at the side view which seems to show a tag, there is also a shot which looks as if the runner is touching the plate (@58 seconds). However, we know that isn't so from another angle.

With the quality of the clips available, I'm still not sure a tag was made, but with the different views and stills, I can see where it could be seen as a tag. I just wish the one person who was reponsible for it was in a better position.
