Back to the previous scenario:
5 hits, no runs in, 2 outs, bases loaded.

Batter hits one sharply through the hole into left.
Runner heads home, but misses home plate and doesn't realize it.
Defense appeals by tagging home plate (it was a force).
Now you've got 3 outs and the run doesn't score.

Question: Does the batter get credit for a base hit?

If so, that would be another way of getting 6 hits and scoring no runs.

Or does this situation somehow strangely morph into one of those weird fielder's choice scenarios, since they made a play on a preceding runner (in which case it wouldn't be the 6th hit).

JMoff -- what say you?
