Posted	Discussion
May 27, 2009 Big D 2 posts	Scoring Situation 1 out runners on first and third. Batter hits a fly ball to the outfield which is caught. Runnier on third tags up and crosses the scoring line sucessfully, The runner at first think there was 2 outs when the ball is hit does not tag up at frist base. The ball comes back to the infield and directly to first base at this time there are 3 outs the runner on third crossed the scoring line before the 3RD out is made DOES THIS RUN COUNT?

May 27, 2009 frampton Men's 55 54 posts	Texas Transplant is correct, a force play involves only a runner forced to advance because another runner has taken the base the runner was on. Not the case on a fly out.
May 27, 2009 Reggie44 Men's 50 30 posts	Texas Trans I stand corrected. The run for sure counts as long as he crosses the plate before the ball gets to 1st base. Thanks for the needed help!
May 28, 2009 Big D 2 posts	I thank you all for your imput and interpertation of the rule
