A "force" is not an infraction. The request is for the missed base.

I also ask...

Then why would a trailing runner ( runner from first ) being thrown out at third over ride a force ( runner from second missing third) the force violation, when it happen before the runner from first being thrown out?
Would this not be awarding the offense and letting them score a run and take away the defense's chance to keep a run from scoring?
I don't see this as rewarding the offense. The defense opted to make a play on a trailing runner and possibly didn't even consider a play on R2, so I cannot read any advantage gained by a simple mistake of missing the base.
