It is, but I'm curious about the base path rule....how the heck does he end up in the grass and is ruled as not leaving the base path?

ok, just read the rule. I had no idea how the base path was determined.....I'd have to watch the video again, but I don't think he was ever more than 3 feet from the base path. Interesting

This rule?  "A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely."

Since the defender was in the grass, Harrison is allowed three feet in either direction.  Although he was well out of the straight line from 2nd to 3rd, he was in the new baseline established by the tag attempt.  Nice call by the umpires knowing this little nuance.

Yes, that's exactly the rule I read. And yes, great call by the umps because the defender thought the runner was out. You can see him pointing at the grass.

He was pointing becuase he dropped some change.  :P
