Appeal play question
Ruleset: USA Softball (ASA)
Situation:
2 outs, runner on 1st and 3rd. Batter hits ball to outfield and reaches first base safely, runner for 3rd scores. Runner from 1st goes to 3rd but does not touch 2nd base.
After the play is over, defense properly appears runner missing 2nd base. Runner is called out.
My question is, since the runner was forced to 2nd base due to batter becoming batter runner, does the runner missing 2nd base and being called out on appeal fall under the situation that a run cannot score if the 3rd out of an inning is due to a force out?
Thanks!
