There's no such thing as the first sentence.
The umpire flubbed this one big time. This runner was forced the minute the batter became a batter-runner.
Imagine if the umpire was right - runners could avoid obvious double plays by simply staying on the previous base - there's no way anyone could get the 2nd out. 2 outs. Easy call.
