Missed Home Plate
There are two outs with the bases loaded. Batter hits ground ball to 3B. 3B decides to throw home for the final force out and throws the ball over the catcher's head. The runner at 3B misses home plate and immediately turns around to coach the next runner coming in to score. The catcher secures the ball and while running toward the next runner running in from 3B to home, steps on home plate in an attempt to tag the next runner who has not reached home plate. Is this a force out or must the catcher make an appeal?
