Runner 1 is caught between third and home. The runner advancing from second is standing on third base. Runner 1 retreats to third base, so two players on the same base. Team in the field tags Runner 1.
The rule says that the "following" runner is called out and not the first runner. How does this rule apply? Which runner is out.
Here's why. Team tags out Runner 1 while both on the base. Runner 2 runs back to second base safely (long story). Is Runner 1 out or was runner 2 out?
