Reply to "Bases loaded walk"

"Bases loaded two outs.  Batter ropes a ball into the gap.  Runner on 3B runs home - batter touches first.  Opposing Coach claims runner on 1B did not touch 2B and had the ball thrown into 2B - argued for a force out - third out inning over no score.  Thoughts."

Yes - that scenario is specified in the rule - 9.1.d     No Score

A runner scores each time they legally advance to 1 2 3 H ...  Except

d. when a 3rd out is declared during a play from a valid defensive appeal which results in a force out (this takes precedence if the enforcement of it would negate a score)

Take it a step further ... say all runners legally touch the next base on the hit ... but runner from 1st after touching 2nd misses 3rd and advances home.  If that is appealed, all the runners that legally crossed before him would count as that appeal is not a force play appeal.
