the umpire acknowledges it, but says the base belongs to the lead runner. Doesn't call him out.
Bad call, or is there a situation when two runners can occupy one base?

In a non force situation, the base belongs to the lead runner. In a force situation, the base belongs to the trailing runner.
The out is not automatic. A tag must be made.

There are 3 situations when two runners can occupy the same base;
1. When nobodies tagging em.
2. When it's HP.
3. Dead ball.
The lead runner was tagged sliding back. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
We won, but it was a wacky wacky game.

Tagged before or after touching the bag?
If he's off the bag and is tagged he's out regardless of which base he's "woulda been" entitled too, if you ain't on a bag, you can't own
it.
