However, F2 overthrows 3rd base in an attempt to throw out F3. F3 scores.

F2, seeing the ball in the outfield and that R3 has scored, turns and heads towards home without touching 3rd base.

Is re-touching required since he had already touched third AND since he did not re-touch it on his way back?

Wow.....take a deep breath....slow down and try again.

Why would the catcher head towards home and if he did, why would he bother touching third?

And how does a firstbaseman score? On the ball field I mean.
