I used the exact same logic last night; had a team win a game Sun afternoon when the winning run scored on a past ball in the bottom of the last inning.
Last night, had the same team, again a tie game late, and their pitcher bounced one in and hit the batter - putting the winning run on base. Out the coach comes to argue the dead ball issue. I politely said it wasn't a dead ball and when he pushed the argument back I simply asked him if he wanted to go replay the previous day's game and put his "winning run" back at 3rd.
End of argument!
