RS 25 says in slow pitch b/r and all runners go right to the dugout and need not run bases. Nothing about fast pitch.

RS 26 talks says if over the fence in flight the b/r is awarded a "home run" but nothing says what a home run entitles the b/r to do and awards to the runners are not mentioned at all.

5-8 sets limits on over the fence home runs but does not talk about base running awards when a home run occurs.

I mean we all know what a home run is but it's really not in print anywhere.

I ran into this trying to come up with a ruling on an out of the park home run that was complicated by not one but two base running snafus. Stay tuned for a thread on that play.
