After having read 8-4-G, 1-6 several times, please help with interpretation. Since runners can advance/steal only one base per pitch at this level, and runner on third can only score on a batted ball, BB with bases loaded, HBP with bases loaded, or awarded base -- when do they have to stop running after a hit?

For instance, bases loaded, clean hit to outfield, ball is thrown back in to an infielder, who makes a play on a runner. Runner is safe at 3B, but ball is overthrown (not out-of-play). Does runner have to stay at third, or can all runners continue running after successive overthrows (happens all the time!).

Or- bases loaded, caught fly ball, runners tag - can more than one runner score if the ball comes back into the pitcher, but then the pitcher overthrows to 3B?

Or-bases loaded, hit to infield, all advance one base. As ball is then returned to the pitcher, the pitcher is overthrown. Can runner on third advance?

It's a shame to even have to ask these questions about an instructional league, but situations come up often.
