High school game. Bases loaded, 2 outs. Catcher drops strike 3. Could she touch home plate for the force on R3 for the third out or does she have to tag batter/throw to 1B for the third out?
Good question. I believe the dropped 3rd strike only applies if 1st base is open. If there is a runner on 1st I believe there is no play just a strikeout. Anyone out there please School me if I’m ignorant to the correct question. That is my understanding.High school game. Bases loaded, 2 outs. Catcher drops strike 3.

Yes correct. With less than two outs 1st base needs to be open. With 2 outs all bets are off. So that leads me to believe in a bases loaded situation a force at any base ends the inning. Catcher steps on plate inning over.With two outs it doesn't matter who is where (on the bases).
