Play: Bases loaded, two out. Batter hits home run out of ball park but passes runner on first before runner on third reaches the plate. All runners continue around the bases and touch home.
Ruling: No runs score; this is a time play. [Note clarification to Official Rule 4.11© Approved Ruling.]
Very interesting. The key is put out versus declared out.
So in the well-known "2 out, bases loaded, batter gets a walk" play where the BR takes a turn around 1B and is tagged out before the run scores, the runner on 3B is still "forced" home and his run counts. It is not a time play. But if the BR takes a turn around 1B and somehow passes the runner originally on 1B, the run scores only if it crossed the plate before the out.
Tagged out, run forced home, not a time play.
Declared out, time play.
(Right?)
