On a base on balls, all runners who are forced, advance to
their next base without liability to be put out (provided they advance and touch said base), therefore, you do NOT have to call them safe. (Imagine the BU calling all these advancing runners safe at each base.) It is up to the defense to put on the tag if he misses the base (or plate).
Then you WOULD have to make the OUT call.
This is also a no call on a tag play at the plate until the runner touches the plate, or is tagged by catcher. So, if he overruns home (doesn't touch) and there is no tag, you say nothing until one of those things happen. If neither of those things happen, and the runner goes to dugout, and catcher doesn't appeal that he missed home, the run scores.
