I looked at it this way when I coached my sons in minors. The defense has to execute several things to be successful in getting the runner out. They have to throw the ball twice, catch the ball twice, and execute a tag. The runner just has to book home and slide......

correct me if I'm wrong cause I want to make sure I got this right, but as long as he makes no stop, no pause going from 3rd to home, even if the battery is set, he does not have to return. BUT, if he stops, send him back to 3rd.
