| 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

| The definition of force out is an out which may be made only when a runner loses the right to the base that the runner is occupying because the batter becomes a batter-runner and before the batter-runner or a trailing runner has been put out
