Does the run count?

[Guest GPMark]

Bases loaded, two out.   Ground ball gets thru the infield, runner on third crosses home plate.   Left fielder then throws out slow runner from first at second on a force out – no tag applied.  Does the run count, or is this a standard force out, and no run scores?

No run scores since the 3rd out was a force out.

 

It does not matter if the forced runner is retired by having his "forced to" base tagged before he reaches it or if he himself is tagged before reaching his "forced to" base. It's still a "force out".

It also doesn't matter if the ball made it through the infield and that the throw was from an outfielder.

The rule in LL is (I believe) 4.09 (a) Exception: No run may score when the 3rd out is a force out, or made by the batter runner before reaching 1st base....... or something like that.  I don't have my LGR here at work.

or is this a standard force out,

I wasn't aware that there were standard and nonstandard force outs.
