  1. basejester's post in Similar "does the run score?" question was marked as the answer   
    5.08 (4.09) How a Team Scores
    (a) One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to
    and touches first, second, third and home base before three men
    are put out to end the inning.
    EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner
    advances to home base during a play in which the third
    out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches
    first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by
    a preceding runner who is declared out because he
    failed to touch one of the bases.

    Delayed.
    6.02 (5.07)(f ), (g), (i), ( j) Pitcher Illegal Action
    a) Balks
    . . .
    PENALTY: The ball is dead, and each runner shall advance one
    base without liability to be put out, unless the batter reaches
    first on a hit, an error, a base on balls, a hit batter, or otherwise,
    and all other runners advance at least one base, in which case
    the play proceeds without reference to the balk.
    APPROVED RULING: In cases where a pitcher balks and
    throws wild, either to a base or to home plate, a runner or runners
    may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled at his
    own risk.
  3. basejester's post in Pitched Ball Bounce through the Strike Zone was marked as the answer   
    Definition of Terms
    A BALL is a pitch which does not enter the strike zone in flight and
    is not struck at by the batter. If the pitch touches the ground and bounces
    through the strike zone it is a “ball.”
  4. basejester's post in Run count??? was marked as the answer   
    2.0 Force Out
    . . .
    Example: Not a force out. One out. Runner on first and third. Batter flies out. Two out. Runner
    on third tags up and scores. Runner on first tries to retouch before throw from fielder reaches first
    baseman, but does not get back in time and is out. Three outs. If, in umpire’s judgment, the runner from
    third touched home before the ball was held at first base, the run counts.
     
    4.09 HOW A TEAM SCORES.
    (a) One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first,
    second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning.
    EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a
    play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first
    base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is
    declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.
     
    7.09
    . . .
    (d) He fails to retouch his base after a fair or foul ball is legally caught before he, or his
    base, is tagged by a fielder. He shall not be called out for failure to retouch his base
    after the first following pitch, or any play or attempted play. This is an appeal play;
  5. basejester's post in Runner called out after not going back to bag was marked as the answer   
    Assuming baseball, that's an incorrect call.  I don't remember the reference, but somewhere in rule 7.
     
    He's leaving early from second base, and subject to being forced to return under some circumstances.  But not called out.   
     
    Softball is different.  The runner is just immediately out.
