This happened to me during one of my HS games this year. With two outs and a runner on third base, a ground ball was hit to the third basemen. The third baseman's throw was off the bag, but the first basemen made the play and tagged the hitter on the swipe. The runner crossed home first though. Now if the throw would have been on the mark, obviously the run doesn't count. But since the first basemen tagged the runner and there was no force, should the run count? F.Y.I...our team was not rewarded with a run.
