Bases loaded walk

I believe that there is at least one example. I had this: R1 and R3, 1 out. Both runners leave their bases on the release of the pitch. The BR hits a line drive, caught by F4. Before either runner can tag up, F4 throws the ball into DBT in an attempt to retire R1 on the live ball appeal. R3 fails to retouch 3B, and advances home.

R3 had the opportunity to correct/complete her baserunning responsibility at 3B anytime before touching the plate and was not subject to a live ball appeal.

In this game, the defense head coach made a proper dead ball appeal to U3 for the third out of the inning.
