DG,

Thanks for that! The BR is where I was getting hung up on this one. Take this a step further then with this situation: R3, no out, and batter becomes BR with ball four, which sails over the backstop, or is wild enough to go over the fence on either side of the backstop. Batter, now BR due to the walk, gets first base. R3 is allowed to advance (I cringe when I hear people say "awarded") to home due to the wild pitch, even though he's not forced to go home, right??

Or, same sitch, only with R1. Pitcher attempts a pick-off of first, and ball sails into the dugout (dead ball area). Batter stays put, R1 and R3 are allowed to advance one base, and the run scores, right?
