My 2010 WUM on page 81 has this:
"This requirement for only the runner from third and the batter-runner to advance to their bases, only applies in this situation. With bases full, if runners are forced to advance by reason of the batter putting the ball in play, or because of an uncaught third strike, all runners will be required to advance and touch their next base in order for the game to be ended. If they do not advance to their next bases before defense puts them out...for the third out, no runs will score."
The first sentence refers the situation of a winning run walked in or by HBP.
Whether the current PBUC umpire school agrees with Wendelstedt and whether Wendelstedt still teaches it I don't know.
