Watching a bracket game today. Game is tied with 2 outs and a runner on 3B. Batter swings and misses strike 3, but the catcher misses the ball and it goes to the screen. The runner from 3rd scores. The batter thought she fouled the ball and stayed at the plate until her coach told her to run. By this time the catcher retrieves the ball and throws out the batter at 1B.
Umpires ruling - run counts because the run scored before the 3rd out. Is this not a case of a force out no runs count?
