What if bases are loaded and the runner from 3rd scores prior to the batter/runner passing the other runner at 1st base?

This is only "fun" if you screw it up and don't call the Batter out on the fly ball ... like you implied. You've actually illustrated a perfect example of why what you posted is incorrect.

Untrue on so many levels. Are you really saying that the BR is NOT out in this situation?

in my scenarios, the BR doesnt pass anyone, the runner who was on 1st passes the runner who was on 2nd.
