projects wikidata item appearance move to sidebar hide from wikipedia the free encyclopedia term used in baseball a close play at first base tie goes to the runner is a popular misinterpretation of baseball rules according to which a forced base runner is considered safe when they reach the next base at the same time as a fielder carrying the ball does umpires reject the concept that baseball provides for such a tie to occur and instead rule on the basis that either the player or the ball reached the base first 1 2 the wording of rule 5 09 a 10 formerly 6 05 j of the official baseball rules is that a batter is out when after a third strike or after he hits a fair ball he or first base is tagged before he touches first base 3 the rule only covers the situation where the base or player is tagged before the runner touches the base in which case the runner is out because no other situation is mentioned any other situation like the player being tagged after he touches first base or the base or player not being tagged at all the runner is safe by default since the condition of making an out has not been satisfied supporters of the tie goes to the runner claim argue that they learned the phrase in backyards as toddlers thus so called ties should also be counted among these cases and not count as an out in response to a question from a little league umpire major league baseball umpire tim mcclelland has written that the concept of a tie at a base does not exist and that a runner either beats the ball or does not 1 in 2009 umpire mark dewdeny a contributor for bleacher report citing mcclelland also rejected the idea of a tie and further commented that even if a physicist couldn t make an argument one way or the other from watching an instant replay the runner would still be out 2 references edit 1 2 mcclelland tim ask the umpire major league baseball retrieved october 28 2016 there are no ties and there is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner but the rule book does say that the runner must beat the ball to first base and so if he doesn t beat the ball then he is out the only thing you can do is go by whether or not he beat the ball if he did then he is safe 1 2 dewendy mark jul 27 2009 come on blue tie goes to the runner no it does not bleacher report turner broadcasting system retrieved october 28 2016 no it does not not ever
