Bell ... if the BR is out, then no runs score. No run can score on a play where the 3rd out is made on the BR prior to reaching first base or any other runner on a force play.
The question is ... is the runner out for being assisted in this sitch.
To me, all indicators lead toward a yes, and an 11th inning. But Mike has been accused of trickery in the past, and there may be something else to this.
(Note - I don't believe Passing is at all at issue here).
