Be careful with how you word things. A tag play can be a force play. For example, R1, ground ball to 2B who tags R1. This is a force play. And just because a runner does not have to be tagged does not mean it is a force play. For example, R1 and R3, 1 out. Fly ball to RF. R3 tags and scores. R1, thinking the ball will not be caught, takes off and is doubled off by a throw to 1B. R3 crosses home before out is recorded at first. Even though R1 did not have to be tagged, this is not a force play and the run counts. This is an appeal play.
