How does the answer to #7 square with 4.09(b):
When the winning run is scored in the last half-inning of a regulation game, or in the last half of an extra inning, as the result of a base on balls, hit batter or any other play with the bases full which forces the runner on third to advance, the umpire shall not declare the game ended until the runner forced to advance from third has touched home base and the batter-runner has touched first base. |

Um, no. 4.09(b) applies to batted balls also. However, it doesn't apply to question 7 because no runs scored. Additionally, though it doesn't matter, the test question doesn't say it was the last half inning of a regulation game or extra-inning game.

If it had been the last inning, then the runs still wouldn't score after the appeal. Either way, the runs score until there's an appeal, and then the sciore are "reversed." |

I understand that the rule only talks about the last inning, but is that the only time it applies? So if there is a 2-out bases loaded walk in the bottom of the first where R1 and R2 fail to advance, then the run doesn't score (if there is an appeal), but if the same happens in the bottom of the ninth, then the run does score (if there is an appeal)? |

if it's not the last inning, then "play" (or "the game") is still going on. R1 and R2 will advance on a walk. If for some reason, they don't, then, yes, get an out on appeal and cancel the run.
If it's the last inning, then R1 and R2 "don't mean anything", so under OBR (and NCAA, but not under FED), there's no need for them to advance (on a walk) to have the winning run score. |

Some would say that a home run qualifies and that as long as R3 and BR advance, the game is over. Others (see Rich in post 10) say only a "non-batted ball award" can meet that definition and that the R1 and R2 must advance and touch. |

Quote:
If the home team scores the winning run in its half of the ninth inning (or its half of an extra inning after a tie), the game ends immediately when the winning run is scored. EXCEPTION: If the last batter in a game hits a home run out of the playing field, the batter-runner and all runners on base are permitted to score, in accordance with the base-running rules, and the game ends when the batter-runner touches home plate. |

Can you imagine it ever actually happening that a 2-out bases loaded walk in any other situation would result in the runner from 1st or 2nd leaving the field? No - they go to their bases and we keep playing. Why would they leave?
