A force-out in baseball or softball happens when a player is forced to run to a base because another player is behind them. The defensive team can get the runner out by throwing the ball to the base before the runner gets there. For example, if a runner has to go to second base, the player at second can catch the ball and touch the base before the runner arrives to make the out. Unlike a tag, where the runner is touched, a force-out is made by reaching the base first with the ball.
