R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd, R3 on first, no outs, batter runner hits ground ball to F5 who steps on the third base for the force out. As BU, shading F6 towards third, this was an easy play since R2 was out by 10 steps, I was five steps from third and only signaled her out. The third base coach told his girl to get back on third base (she was walking off the field knowing she was out) and the defensive coach started yelling from the other side of the field for me to call the out. What is the accepted mechanics here? Does the force out have to be called?

Seems adequate to me, if you use the proper mechanics of showing
the runner was out, why yell, "runner's out"
