Or the back out. In this play, there is both a back and forth out. The backcatcher must claim the back out before the front catcher claims the forth out - assuming neither the cowcatcher or dreamcatchers are involved in the play, which would bring in a whole new set of options.

Also - it is only a forth out if the runner is forthed and the fielder lisps.
