I wonder about the bases-loaded, 2-out walk in slow pitch. The ball is dead after the pitch, but what if the batter for some reason sprints to 1B, takes a turn, and in doing so passes the runner on 1B before R1 scores. If we follow the case book example, the run would not score.
Dakota?

Speaking ASA

This run will score. In SP, on a walk, the BR is even allowed to run through the dugout if they please (8.2.D). The passing of a runner on a walk is addressed only in the Co-Ed game, but I cannot see that being a rule exclusive to the Co-Ed game only. After all, during a dead-ball period, a runner on 2B is allowed to visit his/her 3B coach. If there is a runner on 3B, do you declare the runner from 2B out? No. This is indeed a live ball call.
