Correct, thought the order is forceout-tagout-forceout

That's important because IF the runner from third had stayed on third, he actually would have been safe. The fielder touched third for the forceout from second, but that then removed the force on the runner going from third to home -- he safely returned to the bag and was only tagged out after leaving the bag one final time.

When the second baseball received the throw and stepped on second, the runner from first to second was out. The tag was just confusion.

Third baseman should have seen if he could run the ball to second base and get an unassisted triple play!
