Question
Guest New2this
So...situation was this. Little League game..Majors division.
Bases loaded..batter hits a ball to the SS who underhand delivers to the 3rd baseman. Runner from 2nd stops 1/2 to 3rd and 3rd baseman comes out to tag him. By the time the tag was laid down, the runner from 3rd crossed the plate.
My initial ruling was that was a force out..run does not score.
UIC at the complex, whom I called to verify rule as a coach was contesting it, said that was not a force.
President of the league said it was a force..over rulled the UIC.
I have never seen this play in 10 yrs playing baseball, 15 years watching my son play, nor 4 years umpiring.
Anyone have a ruling + rule number?

That just says he's out. You also need the definition of 'force play', which makes no reference to the manner in which a runner forced to advance is retired (tagging him or the base).

A FORCE PLAY is a play in which a runner legally loses his right to occupy a base by reason of the batter becoming a runner. 5.08 How a Team Scores (a) One run shall be scored each ti
