Is a failure to tag on a fly ball a force play

I suspect the question you worded is not the question you meant.

Did you mean - "When a player fails to tag on a fly ball, can the defense get that player out by merely touching the bag while in possession of the ball?"

Or did you mean - "Does retiring a player who failed to tag on a fly ball nullify a run previously scored on the play"

The answers to these two questions are not the same (Yes and No respectively)

This is true for all softball and all baseball codes.
