Rule 7.04(b) Comment: A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a runner, forced to advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding runner, also forced to advance, touches home plate, the run shall score.

Play. Two out, bases full, batter walks but runner from second is overzealous and runs past third base toward home and is tagged out on a throw by the catcher. Even though two are out, the run would score on the theory that the run was forced home by the base on balls and that all the runners needed to do was proceed and touch the next base.


'nuff said

Not enuff, to add a wrinkle, while OBR requires R1 and R3 to touch their base ( what to do if they don't?), I don't see in the FED or NCAA references where that is required. So in the unlikely instance of R1 being caught off 2B and R3 seeing the third out and abandoning his advance to HP, what do we have then?
