Players cannot touch the Batter or anyone else until they score. Warning then an out.

Thank you anyway, but I was looking to confirm that there is no penalty AFTER she scores
(unlike ASA for instance).

So, what happens when the ball is Live?

For example, R1 scores from third on a Sac Fly, but she misses home. The on-deck batter grabs her as she heads for the dugout and sends her back to home plate to touch it.

Is that a violation of 12.9.5? Or after having passed home, is she no longer considered as "actively running the bases"?

I remember it as physical assistance (pushing, holding, etc.) as an illegal assist; but anything verbal or signals is ok. Similar to base coaches.
