ASA Tag: A legal tag is the act of a defensive player: B: Touching the runner or batter-runner with the ball while securely held in the hand or glove.

The ball is moving around in her glove and at the very end she actually has to grab it and put it back in her glove. You would consider this "secure" posession of the ball?

Agreed....One of the very last things in the video is the SS reaching to push the ball back into the glove after she comes up after the tag. This should be a clue that she didn't have the ball securely.

I'm not so sure that the BU is winding up for a sell out, however. It appears that he starts to point at the glove...perhaps to indicate that the ball was loose and the runner is SAFE!

Don't know, that right fist was pretty tight and ready to go, but we've all been there. I guess he can still recover
