Applicable rule is 4.11
The game is over when the winning run scores.
On a game winning HR, the other runners are PERMITTED to score. I think this was only added to credit the hitter with the HR and RBI, not to make it a requirement.
Approved ruling has a case where the batter (Joe Adcock, for example) passes another runner and is called out, the game ends immediately when the winning run scores.
Therefore - no appeals - no outs gained - home wins.
What is different about softball that is causing the great debate?
