Amazing awareness? More like the most brain dead play we've seen maybe in decades.
There was 2 outs, him not getting tagged out means nothing because even if the runner crosses home before he does get tagged, the run doesn't count unless he reaches first safely.
The first baseman could have watched the runner cross home, decide to walk back up to first and step on the bag and boom 3 outs, no run scores.
