Score the run on Balk?

Well, on the passed ball, the wild throw was by the pitcher

bossman72,

It is certainly possible for the defense to record an out on your "wild pitch" variation. If the R3 advances home safely and the R1 is thrown out by the catcher after reaching 2B, the out would stand and the balk would be disregarded (assuming, for the sake of simplicity, that the batter did not become a runner on the wild pitch.)

So, bottom line, if R2 overslid 2nd in the original play (with wild pitch modification) and was tagged out before R3 crossed home, you WOULD score the run because R3 is awarded home????

No, I meant that in the original play, the catcher caught the ball and threw wildly...meaning the original pitch was normal...yeah, on your scenario with the passed ball, that would be alive and in play until someone is put out BEFORE advancing one base...absolutely
