If the NCAA scoring manual doesn't say credit all awarded bases (like a book rule double), it probably means to and people probably do it that way anyway.


Not necessarily. If NCAA follows MLB, then only awards due to home runs (four-base awards) score runs beyond the winning run. A two-base award on a ball that bounces over the fence, or on an errant throw, would score only the winning run and no more.

Long ago, MLB rules counted only the winning run even on a home run over the fence. However, I don't think there were any such instances before they changed the rule to what it is today. (Exactly when that rule change was made, I don't know, but it's undoubtedly on the web somewhere.)

Yow—when I made that post, I thought I was on the baseball site. Anyway, I suspect NCAA softball follows MLB. I never looked up ASA to see how they handle it.
