Thanks, I think I understand... looking at rule 8-4-2b and assuming that FPSR is Forced-Play Slide Rule.

Because it was a force situation and the runner chose not to slide BUT instead he followed through past home plate into the defense, interfering with a potentially further defensive play... the runner is out, the ball is dead and the run he just scored is negated because of his interference and the potential for the defense to make another out.

I guess this assumes the catcher is making a play - like catching a thrown ball or has the ball and is attempting to reach home before the runner...

Am I thinking correctly Bob?

This seems very reasonable rather than everyone being safe and a run scoring.
