Besides the vacant base, keep in mind that, unlike in baseball, in ASA softball "whenever the first out of multiple outs is made by the batter, all forces are eliminated." So there can't be any kind of force after a fly out, or after the batter-runner has been put out on the bases.* And there can be no force outs on preceding runners after a following runner has been put out.

*Of course, it might be possible to concoct a crazy situation in which a runner runs the bases in reverse order and creates a force on himself.
