Tim.

Tim -- the difference comes when there's a "timing out" during a homerun (hit out of the park).

Suppose B4 hits a home run, but passes R1 (for the third out) after R3 has touched the plate.

In OBR and NCAA, R3's run counts -- it scored before the out. No other runs count -- they "scored" after the third out.

In FED, 3 runs count -- the runners were awarded home when the ball went out of play. B4's run does not count since he made the third out.

Note that if this long hit were on a field with no fences, that there is no award, so only R3's run counts.

When the third out is a foce play (as in the OP), then no runs count under any code.
