Force Outs

It seems to me that for the first scenario it depends on whether Charles ever reached 2B. For the second scenario, I say the run scores, and here is my rationale:

Once everybody has advanced the one base required by the force, the force disappears. That is why F5 had to tag BAKER, and not just tag the bag. If the force was still on, which would leave the time play on, all F5 would have to do is tag the base.

In the first scenario, if Charles reached 2B, then I think the run scores. If he did not reach 2B, then the time play is still active due to the force, and the run does not score.
