Not sure exactly what you're asking, but yes, you can knock a runner over by tripping into them. All it really takes is a hard shove, because a runner's feet rarely touch the ground at the same time.

How do i lean to takl?

When I played football, our coach taught us that we always watch the runner's (or qb's) hips, because that gives away what direction he'll run. Don't look at his legs, it will confuse you; look at the hips. Then you lean in that direction to make your tackle. So, you watch the runner's hips and lean that direction to tackle him.


Do you have to tackle?

No. With minor exceptions (e.g. a fielder with the ball can tag "out" a runner) baseball is NOT a contact sport. A catcher holding the ball and blocking off home plate CAN legally be barreled over by a runner attempting to score by knocking the ball out of the catchers hands but other than that, no there is no tackling in baseball.
