Actually, a force out in Softball is, for example: If runners are on first and second, the force out is at third because the runner is forced to run to third base due to the runners behind him/her.
force to 3rd base means that when there are runners on 1st and 2nd and they are being forced to run to the next base ( in this case 2nd would be forced to 3rd) and all you have to do is step on the base, not having to tag the runner. this can also happen with a force to 2nd.
It is ruled a stolen base
That would be a force out (the same as if the ball had been hit to an infielder) and the batter would not be credited with a base hit.Yep, scored Fielder's Choice 8-6 or 8-4
In the last inning of the game, there were two runners left on base.
When runners are on base, pitchers generally tend to pitch out of the stretch, meaning that they shorten the time it takes to prepare and throw a pitch. This is done to prevent base runners from stealing base. When there are no runners on base, pitchers tend to pitch out of the wind up.
Play continues until either one runner proceeds to another base or an out is made. Conversely if both runners are tagged the runner who occupied the base first is safe, unless there was a force on the play.
A force play in baseball happens when a baserunner must advance to the next base because the batter has hit the ball. The defense can get the runner out by touching the base before the runner reaches it. Force plays are important in determining outs and advancing runners in the game.
in baseball and softball it means theres runners on every base
batter is out, runners do not advance
No. A sacrifice is when the batter turns around to bunt and lets everyone on the defense know what they are going to do. The batter is 'sacrificing' (allowing the defense to get him/her out) so the runners can advance one base.
Yes. The runner going to 3rd is still forced since there are runners "forced" to each base behind him.
