Casebook 9.1.1 Situation D contradicts in the case of a base on balls award.

In Situation P, we have a home run which results in a dead ball. And as stated, runners must still run the bases legally. When the batter passed R3, she was out immediately. R1 scored before the batter passed a runner, so her run counts, and the inning i over.

Not sure why you think Situation D contradicts. This involves a live ball with a runner being tagged while off a base. It is explained quite clearly to me.

This would be not much different than with a runner at third and 2 outs, the batter gets a walk. As we've seen many times, that BR might immediately try to go to second base to be caught in a rundown, hoping to prolong play long enough for the runner from third to score. Another timing play.
