I meant if the runner has achieved the protected base and there's been a subsequent play on another runner. Consequently the runner is actually out when tagged. And since the runner is out we have no need to kill the play.

Got it.
I'm a little slow, I guess and didn't deduce that from what was written.
Thanks for the clarification.
