Runner Interference
Bases loaded 1 out. Ground Ball hits runner going from 2nd to 3rd. Does the runner on 3rd score or does he go back to his original base.

Runner is out. Ball is dead. Batter awarded first. Runners only advance if forced via the batter becoming a runner.

7.08 (f) ....except runners forced to advanced.

why is R3 not considered a runner forced to advance?

Because, once R2 is out, R3 is not forced to advance. B/R goes to 1st, R1 is forced to second, but second is vacant now for R1.

So you would consider this just like the SS fielding the ball and throwing the ball to 3 and getting R2 out on a force therefor R3 can return to 3rd i.e. rundown.

Is a runner forced any longer if a runner behind him is put out?

The runners(all) are forced to advance once the ball was put in play. The rule book I have says nothing about only the BR and R1 being allowed to advance due to being forced. It say "runnerS" forced to advance. I read this as all runners in a force situation.

This is the reason I posted here. I've flip-flopped on this all day. Thanks for all the input and discussion.

Read it how you want, but others have given you the correct interpretation. It means "runners forced to advance because the BR is awarded first." In the OP, that no longer includes R3.
