Force play question, right to occupy base.

Why are you two saying there isn't enough information? The post: "tags lead runner standing on bag, then tags runner from 1st prior to reaching 2nd." The order of events is completely spelled out for you. Two outs.

I think they are assuming that when RKB states "F6 runs to 2nd" that the SS literally ran to and tagged 2B.

If true, they are correct, one out. If not, R1 is forced until a succeeding runner is retired.

That is correct. Did the SS tag R1 at 2nd base before or after touching 2nd base. Maybe the SS didn't even touch 2nd base.

F6 never stepped on bag, said she ran to 2nd, tagged the runner still standing on the bag then tagged the runner from 1st before she reached 2nd.

According to NSA, R1 is forced off the bag and should be out by being tagged. That would be my read (although I'm not an ump).

RKB....You better tell me who the "other umpire" is so that we can have a little discussion about this play.....

As a spectator at a school game, I once saw an umpire call a runner from 1B out on a force at home. His reasoning was that the BR had, on his long hit, reached 3B while the runner was still advancing to home. The OC questioned the call but didn't protest.
