Re: Force Play - no run

Picking nits, the failure of the batter-runner to reach first safely is not a force out. The effect is the same, in that no run can score if the BR makes the 3rd out before reaching first safely, but a force out is defined as one where another runner must advance because the batter became a batter-runner.
