On 2-29-3, I think we are looking at a timing play situation for purposes of the ruling. If a runner passes 2nd base ( and was forced there ) and he is tagged after he passes the bag, any run that scored on any part of that play - even if the runner is already past 2nd without touching it - the run does not score. Hope that helps.

Be careful here Tony, if that runner is tagged going into third base and it is the third out, with a run scoring, the defense must appeal the missed base at second, to gain and advantageous third out. Which would be a force, and therefore no run would score.

Now having said this, there is a chance I could be wrong. Since Fed has changed their appeal process and then subsequently made a little modification each year, and then complicated it my publishing what may or may not be correst case plays, (eg.8.2.3), well, they have done a good job in confusing the hell out of me on what I would think would be logical. Oh well, the rules were'nt written for me only.
