Did I blow these calls?

Call #1 - Yeah, I think you blew that one. R3 (the runner from 1B), was forced to advance as a result of the batter becoming a batter-runner. If the third out is the result of a force play, no runs score.

Call #2 - Nope, you were dead right on that one. On a fly ball to the outfield, it's where it lands if not touched. If it's touched before reaching the ground, it's where it's touched. Since it was touched by the fielder over foul territory before hitting the ground, it's a foul ball.

D'oh. You must have been posting while I was still typing. I had two interruptions while I was typing my answer. (I am, after all, at work.)

Part of an umpire's job is to hustle.

I'm at work, too, but it's slow today. The school I'm at today doesn't need too much help with their computers, it seems.
