runners at 1st and second..... Ball hit down left field line, Anderson dove (shocking I know), had the ball for a sec in his glove, but the ball popped out. Anderson threw the ball in, and they got the force out at 3rd on Lincecum who had ran back to 2nd. The Dodgers then threw the ball to second in time for the force play also. Which SHOULD have been the 2nd out. And the Dodgers threw to first, but too late.
There should have been two outs, but umpire Mark Wegner admitted he missed the call at 2nd.
So it stood, as the force at third for one out. Runner from first moved up to second. And the batter made first.
As for your questions, Lincecum was out as he was forced at third.
The umpire was tapping his chest as if to say "I got that, I got that call".. or something to that effect. He could have been telling that to his fellow umpires, or Torre who first came out of the dugout.
