Once he touches 3B the force is off and he must be tagged,.

The Ives have it when the runner touches the base.

If the runner passes 3B without touching it, the fielder may appeal the miss by tagging either the base or the runner.

But bear in mind that there is no "accidental appeal" so just stepping on the bag with the ball is not enough, the fielder actually has to let you know he is appealing the miss.
