I wonder if it was considered a rundown tag out? Otherwise yes that's a bit of a weird play at the least. Is the actual play stated as an FC 4? (Fielders Choice Second Base out).
I could conceivably see a play where the 2nd Baseman runs the ball in and the runner gets caught halfway. If the baserunner's baserunning ability is too low he could have rounded too far and got caught in the middle. Especially if the 2nd baseman was charging for the play and the runner going to first was speedy and there wasn't a play.
