The Exception to 8-7-E is a little unclear because it addresses when a runner who has just scored but misses home is assisted back to home; what's not clear about it is if the miss happened during a live ball or a dead one. The Effect says the ball is dead, the runner is out and the run is nullified. But that could very well mean that at the time the assist took place, the ball was live, but the umpire should kill play once the assistance happens.

So, is there a USA clarification that says 8-7-E also applies when the ball is dead, such as on a home run?
