If they don't work you go to extras.

That goes both ways though.
He has too big of a lead, and a ball is hit hard to RF on a line drive. If he's on the bag maybe he can tag up and make it home, but if he's too far off the bag he probably can't.
They are playing for a ball hit into the outfield on that play, not a soft infield single, that's why he's closer to the bag to be able to successfully tag.
