I do not want to use this answer to chastise anyone (the umpires are young teenagers) but merely want to supply them with a concrete interpretation for the future.

Have the umpires read 2.00 FORCE OUT. Note that it's the action of a batter becoming a runner that leads to a force out. On a force out, you can tag the bag or tag the runner -- it's still a force out.
