We had a situation here in Colorado where an umpire nullified a grand slam because players came out on the field to congratualate the HR hitter before he touched home. The umpire nullified the score because he said that they can't assist a runner as he is rounding the bases. I guess he almost started a riot by his literal interpretation of the rules. Our area supervisor suggested that common sense should always prevail. Give the guy a homerun and a victory despite what the rules says unless you want to cause a riot.

And to add to this, how can you assist the runner by "high-fiving" him?? To assist is to provide aid to the runner. By pickig him up or stopping him or dragging him to the bag, etc.
Just my two cents
