Blown force at third

Rule question? Get it answered here.

Bases loaded two out. Grounder hit to p6 and runners advance as p6 bobbles the ball. p5 retrieves the ball in time to tag r2 advancing to third for the third out but after r1 crosses the plate. Seems like to me run counts since no force was made at any base but opposing coach was calling blue everything but come to dinner.

I'm a little confused by your designations, but, if you mean the runner who started at second base was tagged before she reached third base, no run scores.

For the purposes of the scoring rule, it makes no difference whether the runner or the base was tagged. She is still forced to 3rd.
