Walk Off Grand Slam
Had a first last night.

Bottom of the 8th, 4-4 game, 2 outs girl hits a walk off grand slam to win it.

Now my "what if" questions:

What if the batter doesn't touch all the bases and stops between 1st and 2nd to celebrate?

What if one of the girls on base misses a base in their advancement towards home and the defensive team properly appeals?

What if the BR doesn't touch home plate?

If someone could give me a rule reference and an answer to these that would be great. Fortunately none of this happened but as soon as my partner and I got back to the car we both looked at each other and asked the same exact question.

Thanks!

Appeal and scoring rules apply as they would at any other point in the game.
With that information, you should be able to answer the question for yourselves.

Nothing happens, she touched 1B

Depends on the base. If it is one to which she was forced, it is an out and no run scores. Otherwise, game is over.

Even if there is a force, it would only prevent runs from scoring if the appealed out was the third out.
If the appealed force out was only the first or second out of the inning, all other runss would score.

Thanks anyway, probably not up to the board's standards, but after being busted for sloppy reading, I went to the fridge and grabbed a Yuengling - "a traditional LAGER" - . I'm on my second........

Well, if you read one out, then you would have two, right

as long as everyone touches their "force" base, game's over no matter what. Once everyone's touched the next base, then if the BR gets mobbed between 1st and 2nd, then it becomes a "Grand Slam Single." Look up Robin Ventura Game 5 1999 NLCS, I actually saw that whole game.
