Yes, if nobody is running behind them. But if it is a force, you can just touch the base.

Actually they are both safe... for now, but play is still live. The lead runner is safe.

Or, the lead runner has to advance to the next base before being tagged out, leaving the trailing runner safe at the double-occupied base.

What does the word 'steal' and 'slide' mean?

These are terms from baseball. To 'steal' is to advance one or more bases in a situation where the ball has not been hit: where someone has mishandled the ball, or during a pitch. A 'slide' is what players use when as a base runner they approach a base guarded by a defending player who has or is expected to shortly have the ball. If the defending player touches the runner before he touches the base, the runner is out, so the runner slides, usually foot first, toward the base, in an effort to get past the defender before he can be tagged.


If a runner is thrown out attempting a triple is the runner credited with a double?

Yes.


In baseball when a basemen has to tag the runner?

A runner must be tagged to be Out if he is not forced to advance as a result of the batter putting the ball into play.
