In cricket, it's just a hit ball: the batsman can run if he wishes. To counter this, the defense will often put several defending players behind (called the slips) if they think the batsman will hit back there. In Baseball, you must hit within the foul lines; hitting that ball behind is called a foul ball. This is called a strike (one of three), although a non-caught foul ball will not be called as the third strike.

To stump someone out in rounders, the fielder must have the ball in their hand and touch the wicket before the batter reaches the crease. The batter typically attempts to run towards the next base after hitting the ball, and if the fielder successfully hits the wicket with the ball while the batter is out of the crease, the batter is out. It's crucial for the fielder to act quickly and accurately to execute this play effectively.

That would be considered a fielder's choice. Answers.com defines a fielder's choice as: "A play made on a ground ball in which the fielder chooses to put out an advancing base runner, thus allowing the batter to reach first base safely." Even though, in your question, the runner was not put out at home the play would be scored a fielder's choice and the batter would be credited with an RBI.
