Brandon: Mrumpire is correct, even though it looks like a force, the play at second is a live ball appeal. Remember the definition of a force, a runner being forced to advance because the BR becomes a runner. It is a timing play and the run scores. This is a commonly misunderstood rule and is called incorrectly many times all over the country. The important thing is to learn and hopefully educate guys in your area not to make the same mistake. By the way, Welcome to the board. This is a good place to learn from some good umpires and not a flame area.
