Two relevant case book examples
Play 8.2-11
Two outs, R1 on 3B, R2 on 2B, R3 on 1B, the batter receives ball four and goes toward the dugout. All runners advance and R1 touches home plate prior to the batter-runner entering dead ball area.
Ruling:
(FP) On ball four, the ball remains alive. When the batter enters dead ball area, he is declared out. This is the third out and the run is nullified (8-2D; 5-5B)
(SP) On ball four, the ball is dead. No penalty for entering the dead ball area, all runners advance and the run scores unless a proper appeal is made at 1B. (8-2D; 5-5A).
Play 8.2-12
(FP Only) One out, R1 on 3B, R2 on 2B, R3 on 1B, the batter receives ball four and goes into the dugout. R1 is tagged by the catcher before he touches home.
Ruling: Ball is live. Batter runner is out for entering dead ball territory. Runner from third is out for being tagged off base as the force is removed. (8-2D; 8-8B)
