Question

Posted

I don't think ruleset matters.

Bottom of the last inning, bases loaded, 2 outs.  Batter takes ball 4.  R3 walks home while R1 sprints to and rounds second.  F2 throws to F6 who tags R1 after his overrun of second but before R3 touches the plate.  Does the run score and end the game or does the overrun and tag eliminate the score?

Run counts.  All codes.

 

Here's the OBR:

 

Rule 5.06(b)(3)(B) Comment: A runner forced to advance
without liability to be put out may advance past the base to
which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a runner, forced to
advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding runner,
also forced to advance, touches home plate, the run shall score.
Play. Two out, bases full, batter walks but runner from second
is overzealous and runs past third base toward home and is
tagged out on a throw by the catcher. Even though two are out,
the run would score on the theory that the run was forced home
by the base on balls and that all the runners needed to do was
proceed and touch the next base.

Ha !   I like it.  I'm not an umpire but will take a guess.    I think the batter and all runners are awarded one base so the run counts.

Yes, a walk is a one base award for the batter and any other runners forced by the batter.
