Depends:
5.09
The ball becomes dead and runners advance one base, or return to their bases, without liability to be put out, when
(h) Any legal pitch touches a runner trying to score; runners advance.
6.05(n) With two out, a runner on third base, and two strikes on the batter, the runner attempts to steal home base on a legal pitch and the ball touches the runner in the batter's strike zone. The umpire shall call "Strike Three," the batter is out and the run shall not count; before two are out, the umpire shall call "Strike Three," the ball is dead, and the run counts.
