Force Out at Home Plate: Catcher's Role & Rules Explained

Question
a player who is forced to run home need not be tagged, catcher only needs to touch the plate to make the out??????? is this correct or not so!

Answer
Michael,

If the runner from third base is being forced to advance because of a hit or dropped third strike the catcher can touch home plate to get the runner out. This movement must be deliberate and not by accident.

I hope this has helped.
