Understanding a forced play in baseball and its negation
A forced play occurs only when runners must advance to make room for the batter. If the runner on first leaves for second as the batter grounds to the first baseman, the force is established until the fielder retires the batter at first, at which point the force ends and a touch play may decide the runner. If the batter is retired, the runner may advance or stay, and must be touched if continuing.
