Was questioned about force out automatically cancling any runs. Thanks
There are many who think this is a force out because all one has to do is touch the bag. Looks to them the same.

A force is an out because the runner was forced to the next bag by the batter becoming a runner. Your scenario is an appeal of a runner leaving before the ball was caught.
