In reality, though, unless you have a three-man crew, and/or the BR's dugout is on the third base side, who will likely see the sequence of events here?

Quote:
No outs, runner on 3rd, 3-2 count on batter, on the pitch R1 at 3 steals for home, strike 3 is dropped by F2,* R1 sees she will be put out at home runs back to 3rd and gets caught in a run-down, Batter enters the dugout, R1 is then tagged out by F5.
Both umpires' attention will be on the rundown, looking for the tag, possible obstruction, a possible three-foot violation, etc. Who is going to see the BR enter her dugout at first base and immediately kill play? Good luck with that!
