Case Plays: Confusion After Carom Kicked Catch
This Case Play has been completed. Congratulations to UEFL League Members BT_Blue, cyclone14, hitit2me, kickersrule, majessa, MSN_UMP, nwsquid, RadioPearl, RichMSN, SJR, Three-Ballin', tt49, TXWrangler, Turducken, & youthministeradam and fans BigMarc, Jason, MaestroBen, Nate, omgahokie & SJR for correctly answering the posted scenario. The correct response is:
B1 is out at the instant he passes R1 (7.08[h]), removing for the force out at second base on R1 at the instant B1 is declared out (Rule 2.00 [Force Play]). Therefore, R1 remains safe at first base and play continues with two out, R1 and B2 at the plate. This is not a double play.
Points Distribution
+1: BT_Blue, cyclone14, hitit2me, kickersrule, majessa, MSN_UMP, nwsquid, RadioPearl, RichMSN, Three-Ballin', tt49, TXWrangler, Turducken, youthministeradam
Thank you for participating in this Case Play and stay tuned for further Case Plays. The original Case Play post has been reproduced below.
Pursuant to UEFL Rule 4.f., this Case Play is open for 48 hours from the time of this post (5/21/12 at 1:00AM). During this time, all Case Play responses will remain in moderation (screened or invisible) until the 48 hour submission period is closed. To receive full point(s) credit, you must answer the following scenario correctly and all relevant results of the play after applying your ruling. Though rules citation is not required, it is highly recommended and may save you points if your answer is not word-for-word.

Scenario: With one out and one on (R1), B1 hits a sinking line drive to F8, who traps the ball and fires back into the infield. While the ball is in flight back to F4, it is apparent that B1 has passed R1. After this fact, F4 catches the throw and tags second base. Who is out and how should play proceed? Did the umpires get this call right? The correct response is worth one point. As has been past practice, rules citation is highly recommended and may save you a point if your ruling isn't word-for-word.
