B6, in his excitement, passes R3, who started the play on first base. At the time B6 passed R3, only R1 had touched home plate.
RULING: When a batter hits a home run, each runner on base is awarded four bases, or home. While B6 is out for passing an unobstructed preceding runner, his third out is not a force out since he had touched first base. Therefore, three runs will score and the home team will win, 7-6. (8-3-3a, 9-1-1)
