And Wright being concerned about an open second base made him run toward the base, which created the situation where he didn't just stand there and tag the guy. The runner stopped, Dave ran towards 2nd and the runner, the runner started running to third again, and the two forces met (Wrights glove/arm and the runner), ball jarred free.
