force play — 名詞
1. A baseball play in which a runner already on a base has no choice but to advance

用法筆記
Only used in baseball contexts. A force play differs from a tag play — the defender touches the base, not the runner. When the batter is put out before reaching first base, the force is removed and runners may return to their original base.
