But if 2 outs, it becomes a "force" situation and no runs score? Appreciate clarification. Thanks!
JPaco,

I'm not Bob, but let me try to answer your question..

If there is only one out at the start of the play, there is no "timing" to concern yourself with because at the end of the play there are only two outs - even if the defense were to appeal the R1's miss of 2B.

Since they already put him out when he tried to advance to 3B, he's really, really out, but it's still just one out.

johnny,

You seem to suggest these are mutually exclusive options - they are not. See post #5 above.
