The basic principle is that no run can score on any play where the 3rd out of the half inning is made on the BR before he touches 1B or any runner who is put out on a Force.
When a runner's miss of a base is properly appealed, AND the base he missed was his "forced to" base, the out is treated as a Force Out. If such out is the 3rd out of the half inning, no run can score.
Got it?

Thanks JM...is this ruling potentially why the umps misapplied the Time Play in the Cleveland/Baltimore a couple of weeks back?
