It would be a tag …
It would be a tag out. Force out would involve making a play after the hit.
When you have a runner on, you’re going to line up a couple steps in front of first. Slide back to cover first with your left foot, keeping an open glove to the catcher.
I’m sure there is a Summer or Minor League game close to your home. Go and watch the techniques of the first basemen. Watch for Footwork and Hand motions.
Best of luck.

thanks. too bad hs softball season is over. I’ll use the advice for next year though. I’m trying to find a video of what to do when there are runners on base. for instance waiting for a throw from the catcher to get the runner out. is it a force out or a tag out and whats is the proper footwork on this play. i wud ask my coach but hes too busy worrying about the pitchers.

No you don’t this …
No you don’t this is terrible fundamentals.
To be in position to make a play from first square you heels to the inside corners of first base, don’t move until you judge where the ball will need to be caught at and then adjust your footing with your throwing foot on the bag and you glove extended to the catch point.
