Does the runner need to be tagged to be out?

It's a standard rule. Force outs (where you just need to tag the base) only occur when the runner must get to that base.
In the case where the runner goes when the batter strikes out, this is a stolen base. He is not forced to run, therefore must be tagged.

Maybe its one of those weird rules like what happened in the World Series last year.
