Is a runner out if he is touched on the helmet before he crosses home plate?
Yes.
What happens if with bases loaded with 2 outs the runner from first is caught in a run down instead of forced out do the runs score?
yes as long as the runner(s) touched home before the tag on the person on first
Does the run count if it is made before an out is called?
A run counts if the runner crossed the plate legally and before the third out. If the runner crosses the plate even a half-second before the third out is tagged on the basepaths, then the run counts. If the out is made a half-second before the runner crosses the plate, then the run does not count. One exception is that with two outs the runner cannot score until all forced runners have reached their bases safely. That is, if the batter-runner is thrown out at first even after the runner crossed the plate, then the run does not count. Same thing if a runner is thrown out at second or third base (on a force-play only).
Does the run count if the the runner crosses home before the final out is committed on a runner who is tagged running to first base?
Yes it does count because the runner crossed home before the final out.!
Does a run score on a fielders choice when a runner crosses home plate before the force out is recorded?
If the third out is a force play or a fly out, a run can not score, no matter how soon a runner crosses home before that third out. If the batter hits the ball over the outfielder's head with runners on first and third, and the runner on first constantly slips and falls as he runs to second, the fact that the batter got to first and the runner on third got home several seconds before the runner going to second was forced out, is just too bad. It's still a force out, and no run scores.
When bases are loaded and the first out occurs at home is there a force play at third?
Yes. The runner going to 3rd is still forced since there are runners "forced" to each base behind him.
Is a runner out if the ball gets to home base before them?
not unless the bases are loaded, creating a force at home for the runner on third otherwise the runner must be tagged to be put out
Can a runner from third base score if the batter is tagged out for the third out?
If the batter is tagged out before he reaches first base it is still considered a force out and the runner cannot score, however if the batter crosses first base safely and then is tagged out, the run counts if the third base runner crosses home plate before the batter is tagged out.
What does loaded bases in softball mean?
bases loaded means that there is a runner on 1st base, a runner on 2nd base, and a runner on 3rd base, all of the bases.
Does the run count if the runner crosses home before the third out is made?
no, if the out was a force out at any base. Yes, otherwise.
Does a fielder have to step on the base before making a tag out on the runner?
No, the fielder does NOT have to touch the base before tagging a runner out. The fielder only touches the base on a forced play.
Does a runner score from third base if bases are loaded and there is a catcher interference call?
Yes. The batter is awarded first base and all runners would be forced up a base allowing the runner from third to score.
