With one out and a R1 on first base, B3 hits a ground ball to F4. F4 tags B3 and immediately throws the ball to F6 who tags second base before R1 reaches the base. This is a double play and the inning is over. True or False? Explain.

B1 is safe at 2nd base. Once B3 is retired prior to reaching 1st base(via the tag by F4) there is no longer a force play on R1 and must be tagged by a fielder
