Same situation but she missed 3rd when the ball was hit. What do you have?
NFHS, NCAA and ASA rules.

In the initial situation we have a run scored, then a potential for interference if the act by R1 of returning to third interfered with the defenses actions.
If the runner in question missed 3rd base we have an out when she was tagged. In this case her being tagged constitutes a live ball appeal of the missed base.
The question I have is what if she missed third, touched home, retouched home, and returned to third before being tagged. Can a runner who has crossed home plate retouch and return to a missed base (or left early if a fly ball). I want to say yes, but I don't remember.
