This question was taken from a baseball thread, but I wanted to see what softball blues think about it.

I know that there is in reality no such things as ties. You're either safe or out. But, since we don't have the help of instant replay, if we do see a virtual tie (i.e.: 1B), who gets the call... the runner or the defense?

I've always thought it was the runner, but the runner does have to BEAT the throw to be safe. If there is a tie, the runner did not BEAT the throw, therefore they are out.

Just wondering what the general concensus is before I have to make a close call again.

Thanks.
