That's the OBR rule -- and it might (there's controversey over the meaning of "any other play") only apply on an "award" -- e.g., walk, not on a hit.
THe post specified NFHS rules -- where all (forced) runners must touch the advance base.

Bob,
Can you give the case number or rule where you got your info for NFHS?

I'm looking at FED Rule 9.1 note 2
says: is the result of a base on balls, hit batter, or any other play with the bases loaded which forces the runner on third base to advance,etc...
It specifically states a PLAY! A home-run to end the game is a play?
I would take "any other play" to mean a balk, an obstruction, as well as hit batter, or a walk.
