You would be correct. Straight out of the rule book:
"5.08(4.09)(b)
When the winning run is scored in the last half-inning of a regulation
game, or in the last half of an extra inning, as the result
of a base on balls, hit batter or any other play with the bases
full which forces the runner on third to advance, the umpire
shall not declare the game ended until the runner forced to
advance from third has touched home base and the batter-runner
has touched first base."
I think Ihave heard of some locales/age groups where Legion uses FED, in which case Scrounge would be correct.
