I saw this recently in a MLB game. Can't remember who it was but it brought up a scorekeeping question. Score was tied in bottom of last inning when with a runner on base the batter hit a home run with a final score of 8-6.

Situation: Tie game in bottom of the last inning. Lets just say runners on 1st and 2nd. Batter hits a home run. As long as the BR touches 1st and the lead runner touches bases in order including home for the winning run, how should the score reflect this? Or is the batter obligated to run all bases?
