1. What if strike three? Can runner also be called out if no throw? Or does she just return to first?

If strike three, she is now a retired batter and the runner closest to home would be declared out.

2. What if throw is made & runner is thrown out? Does she still return because its an immediate dead ball?

Any throw is moot. Dead ball on the interference

Thanks
