Force play

[Guest Davis Buddy]

Bases loaded   2 outs. Batter hits ball to shortstop, runner on third heads home, runner at second freezes, runner on third scores, shortstop tags runner at second. Does run count??

No

 

R2 is forced to advance, he’s put out before reaching third, despite the tag, it’s a force out.

The run cannot score when the third out is a force. A force is not defined by how the out is made (tagging the runner or tagging the base) but by the situation.
