This happend last night in the Seattle - Boston game last night and I could not locate the rule on MLB.com.
Runners on first and second with one out. A ground ball is hit to the shortstop. The runner on second stays on the bag. The shortstop picks up the ball, steps on second and tags the runner going from first to second. That runner is out as a result of a force. The runner originally on second is still standing on second and is tagged by the shortstop, who still has the ball. This runner was called out. Why? The force by the runner from first was removed by stepping on second base.
I do not want your opinion of the teams, I do not care. Just if someone knows the rule, please.
