1) I assume you meant 9-1-1c -- rules use dashes, cases use dots.
2) 9-1-1c has nothing to do with force outs -- it deals with "preceeding runners". The batter was not a preceeding runner; he was a trailing runner.
3) 9-1-1d deals with force outs. THe word "resulting" must be the confusion. It doesn't mean that a base running error "results in" (i.e., automatically becomes) a force out. It means that a baserunning error that is also a force out negates all runs (if the out is the third or fourth).
4) Please don't type in all CAPS. It's hard to read and is considered shouting.
THanks.
