Can a runner score when a batter gets thrown out at first for the third out?

No. A runner can only advance on a fly ball after it is caught. Since there are two outs and the catch of the fly ball would make the third out. A runner cannot score before a fly ball is caught at any time.

∙ 8y agoNo runs score on a play when a third out is made and that third out was a force out, period. A batter-runner being put out prior to touching first base is a force out. If there had been only one out with runners at first and third or first and second and third, putting the batter-runner out before he reaches first base ends the force on the other runners, and so if the defense next also got the runner going to second or to third, on a double-play, the runner from third crossing home before that third out would count, because the third out was not a force out.

∙ 10y agoYes, the runner on third base with two outs will be considered as a scored run in the event of the batter reaching first base and advancing to second base at his own risk however a fielder throws to 2B and gets the batter out however in the event of the defense recording the third out before the runner on third base scores then the run by him will not count.

∙ 13y agoMaybe. If the out is a force out, then a run can't score; however, if the run scores before the runner is tagged out, then the run counts.
Correction for Answer:
Answer above in incorrect. In order for the run to officially count the batter needs to reach 1st base safely in this situation. It does not matter how the out of the batter is recorded. Any resulting play in which the batter does not reach 1B safely, the run would not count --- this is why even on walk-off hits you will see the batter go to 1B before they start to celebrate, because if he would not touch 1B, then the run would not count, even if the walkoff hit was a HR ----tigersy2k3

Does the runner score from third if batter tries to stretch a single and gets thrown out at second base?
If there are less than two outs, yes. If there are two outs, this is a timing play. If the runner crosses home plate before the batter is thrown out at second base, the run counts. If the batter is thrown out at second base before the runner crosses home plate, the run does not count.
When a batter hits a grand slam how many runs score?

How would you score this if the batter hits a ball the drops in center field but the runner at first is thrown out at second?
If the runner at second is out by being forced out, the batter is not given a base hit .... the play is ruled the same as if the ball was hit to an infielder that threw to second to force the runner. If the runner at second is out by being tagged because they rounded the base too far, the batter is given a base hit.
If a batter hits the ball but the runner on third is tagged out how do you score the batter?
I assume you mean if you're score keeping and not saying "How would the batter who becomes a runner be able to score a run on the play." If you're referring to score keeping I believe you would just note that the batter reach first base as a result of the fielders choice by 3Bman. FC - 5.
Does a runner score from third base if bases are loaded and there is a catcher interference call?
If the batter who reached by via catcher's interference scores, his run would be unearned, however, it cannot be determined if any runner on base scored due to catcher's interference is earned or unearned until the inning is played out and recreated without the interference or any error that may have occurred.
