3. Two outs, bases loaded, 3-2 count. With all runners going on the pitch, the batter takes ball four. R2 touches and
rounds 3rd and is picked off by the catcher before the runner from 3rd touches the plate. Does the run score?

In NFHS - YES
Following is from the 2002 NFHS Softball Case Book.
8.1.1 Situation F: "With 2 outs, bases loaded and a 3-2 count
on B6, the next pitch is a wild pitch. R1 begins advancing to
home. R2, on 2nd, is off with the pitch. She rounds 3rd base,
but is caught off the base by an excellent throw by F2 for the
3rd out. R1 had not touched home plate when R2 was tagged out at
3rd.
RULING: R1
became entitled to home as soon as
the fourth ball was declared. Consequently, as soon as R1 touched
the plate, her run counts. [8-6-2].
