Girl on third base with two out. Catcher drops third strike. Catcher trys unsuccessfully to tag out runner coming in from third, then tags out batter for third out. Umpire says the run scores because of continuation and the attempt at the third base runner. I thought even a tag out before a runner reaches first constitutes a force play for the third out and nobody scores. What if the catcher did succesfully throw to first after missing runner coming home? Thanx!
