Yes, this is a softball board. Just making an observation. Not only are they games played two different ways, they are also officiated two different ways.
Yet, MLB has the same rule, the runner or base must be touched BEFORE the runner reaches the base.

Rule 7.08
(e) He or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base, after he has been
forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner.
