There are so many people commenting here who don’t know the rules of softball and some who don’t know this is not baseball. The catcher has to tag the runner with either the ball or the glove holding the ball for the runner to be out in this case. If it was a force run, meaning the bases were loaded, the catcher could have just touched home plate. It’s not always about the catcher touching the plate because, in this instance, the runner was stealing home.
