Walk off balk

rico76Member

If bases are loaded and pitcher balks in winning run, runner on third touches homeplate. Since it is a dead ball, do the other base runners have to advance to the next base or can an appeal be made that the other runners ran direcctly off the field?

Thanks

First, welcome to the board. This is a good question that I will answer off the top of my head and look up in a bit. I would say that no, they do not have to touch. There is no force to make them move so all that has to happen is R3 advance to home.
