High School Baseball Umpire Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

In a tied game, what happens if a bases loaded over-the-fence home run is hit?

All runs score before the game is terminated

When a bases loaded home run is hit during a tied game, all base runners, including the batter, are allowed to score. This is because when a home run is hit, all runners automatically advance and complete their runs around the bases. In this specific situation, since the game is tied, hitting a home run not only breaks the tie but also allows for all the runs to score before the game is resolved.

The rules state that any run scored counts towards the final score, and with all four players (the three on base and the one hitting the home run) legally touching home plate, their runs are counted. Thus, the outcome ensures that all runners score, and the game’s result is based on those runs. The conclusion is that in the event a home run is hit under these circumstances, it leads to the team that batted winning the game by scoring all the necessary runs.
