Mike,
So in ASA if the ball is live until the BR is retired, then this presumably would mean that -- had 1B and 3B been occupied with 1 out -- the batter would have been put out upon swinging and missing, thus the ball would be dead, which would make the bases loaded. In other words, the dead ball would preclude the runner from 3B from scoring (i.e., it would not be within the umpire's discretion to award the baserunner home, as it was not a sqeeze play? [for a squeeze, I know the runner is awarded home]).
