The batter is credited with a home run in his personal statistics (and the pitcher is charged with allowing one,) but no runs score.

In baseball if there are two outs and a runner on third and the batter hits a ground ball and is thrown out at first does a run score if the runner got home before the batter was thrown out?
nope, as long as you get the out no runs count.
Can run count on catch out?
It depends on how many outs there are. If there is less than two outs and a run comes home on a caught ball they are safe, as long as they tagged the base they started on after the catch was made.For example the runner started on third, He leads off, the hitter hits the ball into the outfield. The fielder makes the catch, the runner must tag 3rd base before he goes home. If he does not "tag up" than the defence simply has to throw the ball to third to get the runner out.If there are two outs the run does not count.
With two outs and two strikes the runner on third steals home and beats the ball there and is called safe and then the batter is called out for the third strike does the run count?
technically a steal from third to home
Does the runner score from third if batter tries to stretch a single and gets thrown out at second base?
If there are less than two outs, yes. If there are two outs, this is a timing play. If the runner crosses home plate before the batter is thrown out at second base, the run counts. If the batter is thrown out at second base before the runner crosses home plate, the run does not count.
Can a runner score before a force out is made at second after a failed attempt of making a force out at first?
IF you mean there are 2 outs then the answer is no, if the out is a force out then the run doesn't count even if the runner touched home before the ball reached the force out bag.
2 outs runner on 3b and 1b and batter hits grounder to 2nd who tags runner instead of the base does the run count since both batter and 3b touched before tag?
Yes. On a tag play, if a runner crosses home plate before another runner is tagged for the third out the run counts.
What does the term Hollywood mean in fastpitch softball?
Hollywood is a trick play that the offense runs when there are runners on first and third. The runner on first pretends to start running, but "trips and falls". They are trying to entice the defense to try to get them out. As soon as the defensive falls for it, the runner at third is supposed to break home. If there are two outs the runner must score before the player is tagged out for the run to count. If there is less than two out all the runner has to do is reach home safely for the run to count.
Why do they always force out at first and let the runner score from third?
The score won't count if there is 2 outs.
When do runs count after 3 outs?
A Team can be awarded a run even when a player makes a third out only when the 3rd out is NOT a Fly out,a Line out,a Force out (such as on first base when a player has no choice but to go to that bag because he is forced by a base runner behind him) or a caught third strike. Also the run will only count if the runner crosses home plate BEFORE The third out it made. Ways that a third out can be made that allow the scoring of a run are in such situations as when a runner is tagged out on the basepaths (such as when he is trying to stretch a single into a double.
Can a runner return to second after acquiring third in softball?
No they can not return to another lessor base under their on accord after the completion of the play where they gained the higher base. If the play where they gained 3rd is still live then the can choose to return to 2nd.
Runner steals home with two outs and batter hits line drive which is caught but the runner tags home before ball is caught. Does the run count?
Yes it does count cause he scored before the out. If he scores after the out then it doesn't count. It's just like if he stole home plate and during a run down a guy gets caught between bases after. The score happened before the caught line drive. Sorry..the run does not count as the batter hit the pitch for an out. In fact, had there been less than two outs, the runner from third could be thrown out by tagging 3rd before he returned. Think, line drive to a fielder with a runner on any base, and, after the catch, the fielder throws to the base to double up the baserunner. The situation is completely different from the run down situation described above.
If there is a runner on third and two outs and the catcher drops the third strike throws down to 1st and a tag is applied to the runner after the other runner has crossed the plate does the run cou?
Yes, the run counts. A dropped 3rd strike with 2 outs is not an automatic out and all base runners are allowed to advance, including the batter that just became a runner. If the throw down to 1st is not a tag but a force out then the run would not count. However, since it is a tag, the play becomes a timing play. If the run on 3rd touches home plate prior to the tag on the batter runner then the run will count.
