This was in 8u coach pitch softball:
Bases loaded, batter hits the ball to the 3rd baseman. 3rd baseman fields the ball and runs to tag the girl who is running from second. Runner from third crosses the plate.
Runner from second runs over 3’ outside her basepath and is called out for that (after the other runner crossed the plate).
Does the run count because the definition of a force out was not met, or does it not count because runner from 2nd failed to reach 3rd base when she was forced from her base by the hit?
