My bad.

I have just been so confused by this. Now I know that many of you, actually most all, say that it shouldn't be confusing. However, I have contacted two separate clinicians in Illinois, from two different parts of the state. They both have said that if a runner misses a base he is forced to and is returning there does NOT need to be a tag. They both reference that the force is still on and that a force out can be obtained by merely touching the base.

Both said that this is not an accidental appeal it is merely satisfying the requirements of a force out.

I would just like to see an actual ruling from the FED saying the runner has to be tagged. Right or wrong, there case book says he does NOT.

I feel like I'm delaying the death of a thread that should die. I just want to get it right. I can understand both arguments. I just have no support provided from the NFHS that says any returning runner has to tagged whether he was forced or not.
