Interesting End to Game

[CT1]

No need to make a signal of any kind. Head for the exit, and if no appeal is made before you leave the field, it's too late.

Did R3 ever reach the vicinity of home plate of did he peel off 20 feet early?
Did BR ever touch 1b?
Did any or all defensive players leave the playing field?

is this actual footage of the play in question?
If so am I to assume the first person coming across from the left of the screen is R3? If it is, he did not MISS HP. IMO, you must pass over/by a base in order to be assumed to have touched it.

I'd classify that as a gross miss but it still needs to be appealed.

That was not handled properly. Umpires should have been heading towards the exit once both teams came out on the field like that.
