In a U13 game B1 hits a HR and just barely touches the plate when he scores after rounding the bases. Defensive coach asks his catcher if he touched home. I yell over that he did, barely. Offensive coach comes to me between innings to find out about our discussion.
His response was, "A homer's a dead ball. The batter doesn't even have to run around the bases. He can just walk back to the dugout after hitting it! You can look it it up. In fact I'll bet you on it!!"

He's correct in slow pitch softball.

I'll have to remember that the next time a coach tells me this during a U13 baseball game.
