Do the runs score?
The coach yells that it's a force play so no runs should score.

I don't know about USSSA, but the Fed rule on a force play clearly states "If a batter ball is caught before the ball touches the ground there can be no force plays". I would assume that ASA, NSA, USSSA and other codes all have similar wording in their force play rules.
