If the ball beats the BR to the base the BR is out (assuming a clean catch and the foot on the bag, etc.).

Now if the BR beats the ball or they arrive simultaneously, then the ball didn't beat the BR and the BR is safe. So ties do go to the runner because the ball didn't arrive first.

This is what Mike is saying.
