Since the odds are mostly in favor of the infielders to get the out on a ball hit on the ground, the runner is typically given the benefit of the doubt if he can get to first fast enough to make it that close. no, it is not in the rule book. in an umpire's world, there is no "tie" umpires must call a runner safe or out with no grey area to maintain the integrity of the game. the "tie" rule does, however apply on the kickball field in elementary school.
