Final answer:
A runner in baseball cannot run over any base without being tagged out; this statement is false. They can be tagged out by fielders unless it's a forced advancement or in cases like a home run.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement regarding whether a runner in baseball can run over any base without being tagged out is false. In baseball, a runner must be careful when advancing from one base to another because fielders can attempt to tag them out. There are special circumstances where a runner is allowed to advance without the risk of being tagged, such as after hitting a home run or when the ball is put into play and the runner is forced to the next base due to another runner heading to the base they currently occupy. However, there is a rule known as a force out, where a runner can be put out simply by a fielder with the ball touching the base to which the runner is forced to advance, before the runner arrives, without the need for a tag. Additionally, on a non-force situation, if the runner is not on a base, they can be tagged out by a fielder with the ball.
