My current rule book is in the car, but old one states it this way:
Rule 8-4-2 Any runner is out when:
m. she fails to reach the next base before a fielder either tags the runner out; or holds the ball while touching such base before, after the runner has been forced...
"Holds a ball" is defined in case book plays as being held securely in the glove or hand.
