Hi Everyone:
I have a rules question, I have been trying to get answered for the last 2 years of coaching. As I grew up playing baseball not softball some of my rules understanding are slightly different.
My question is in regards to the force out rule at 2nd base with a runner on first.
Situation: Runner on first less than two outs. Ball is hit to the right side and first base touches first base first and then throws to second.
In Baseball the runner is no longer in a force situation and must be tagged out at second. Is the rule the same in Softball, I've looked through USSA rules and NFHS rules and can't find any specific details on it.
Thanks for the help.
