Your play sounds like he had possession long enough for it to be called an out.

I believe the rule you stated has to do more with catch and release.

Two different plays all together. Tag out and force out.

I did not quote a rule, and a play on BR at 1B is not a force.

Under JEA this subject is covered under TAG - "unlike a catch, a legal tag is based on the status of the ball at the time the runner or base is touched and not on the final proof of possession. So tagging a runner and tagging a base are similar, and unrelated to voluntary release of a CATCH of a batted ball.
Look in your FED rule book and see what rule the case book pertains to. I didn't say a play at 1B was a force out. That's not what I all I was trying to say. Similiar in some aspects. Your JEA example states catch of a BATTED BALL. Your play was with a thrown ball where a tag is required. No tag required in case book play. Just clean catch and release of F6 to F3. Same rules apply from F6 to F4 on a force.
My JEA example has nothing to do with a batted ball. I clearly said it was covered under JEA under TAG.
