How about this scenario then. Runner coming from first base into second. She slides into second hoping to throw the timing of the second baseman off as to not be able to complete the double play at first? The runner going into second would be retired because of the force. If there had been a runner on third base at the beginning of the play, and she hadn't scored at this time, would you rule her out? Dave

Not if it was a legal slide.
