If I'm not mistaken, as long as Runner on third touches home, and Batter touches 1st, it is a legal advance, game over.

That's the OBR rule -- and it might (there's controversey over the meaning of "any other play") only apply on an "award" -- e.g., walk, not on a hit.
THe post specified NFHS rules -- where all (forced) runners must touch the advance base.
Bob,
Can you give the case number or rule where you got your info for NFHS?

I'm looking at FED Rule 9.1 note 2
says: is the result of a base on balls, hit batter, or any other play with the bases loaded which forces the runner on third base to advance,etc...
It specifically states a PLAY! A home-run to end the game is a play?
I would take "any other play" to mean a balk, an obstruction, as well as hit batter, or a walk.

I'm confused as heck.
First you said "only BR and R3 need advance." (paraphrased)
Then, you point to FED 9-1-1 NOte 2 where it clearly states "... the umpire shall not declare the game over until all runners have advanced to the next base."
See -- that was my point -- you gave an OBR ruling to a FED question. Now you're questioning my FED ruling by citing the rule that supports my interpretation.
Further, you use the FED wording to argue the questioning I gave for the OBR wording (even though the same phrase is used in both).
Help!!!
