The 1st baseman is holding the runner on first. The runner breaks for second and the batter hits a low pop up over the 2nd baseman's head towards the 1st base line. The runner missed the ball off of the bat but it all works out because the ball slices away from the 2nd baseman, lands in fair territory but rolls over towards the rolled up tarp.
At this point the 3rd base coach is waving madly. The runner rounds third as the 2nd baseman and right fielder converge on the ball which has rolled up against the tarp. It takes a couple of grabs to get the ball out but it is too late. The batter has sprinted to 2nd for a double and the runner is crossing the plate.
