Reply to "Walkoff Grand Slam or single?"

The official rules do not seem explicitly clear but the decision that was made probalbly was a judgement call and in the spirit of rule 10.06(g) which reads: When the batter ends a game with a home run hit out of the playing field, the batter and any runners on base are entitled to score

a little extra info. Seems to me that as long as the batter touches first base, there is no problem:

APPROVED RULING: Two out, bases full, batter hits home run over fence. Batter, on appeal, is declared out for missing first base. Three outs. No run counts. - Rule 4.09
