My call - run scores. Blown or good call? I scoured the Rules but did not find an answer.
Run scores. You're not likely to find a rule, as he didn't break one.

On a walk, the batter and any forced runners are awarded one base without the liability of being put out. Unless R3 enters dead ball territory, he can go wherever he likes and take (within reason) as long as he likes to get there. (FED)

How would that rule apply in this situation at all?
