It is NOT a force out, it is a live ball appeal. The defense made the proper appeal holding the ball while touching
the base. The runner is out in all rules sets of which I am aware.

Ground ball hit to first.....first baseman bobbles ball....picks up ball with bare hand and then touches bag with her glove....this seemed weird to me....I know that you can't tag a runner with just the glove....is this legal? Out?
Thanks for any input in advance.

Can you tag the base with your foot while the ball is in the hand? What's the difference?
