I agree the situation is sticky, especially if the first time you ever think of the possibility is when it happens on the field and you are the PU!

I agree with the analysis that the BR's base is an award and that the ball is live (ASA 8-1-C), the other's are forced to advance and are not in jeopardy of being put out, and that runners may choose to attempt to advance beyond the one base at their own risk (8-5-A).

Therefore barring a ruling to the contrary, the run does not score. (I can find no case plays dealing with 8-5-A.)
