What was the blown call?

First one, Laird hit a shot down the LF line, hit the line (chalk flew up) and was called foul. Laird eventually grounded out. Took a run away from us because Breg came up next at bat and hit a bomb.

In the 10th, Laird hit a dribbler down the 1st base line. 1st baseman fielded it on the line and went to tag Laird out. Laird clearly ran about 5 feet out of the baseline to avoid the tag, which should have automatically resulted in an out.
