Bases are loaded and there are 2 outs. The count is 3 balls and 2 strikes so the runners are off with the pitch. Batter swings at a ball in the dirt that gets away from the catcher.

The catcher retrieves the ball and throws to first base to get the batter by a step. However, the runner from third has touched home plate before the ball is caught by the first base girl.

ASA rules, does this run score?

No, under any rule set.

[Bretman]

This is one rule that's universal for every baseball and softball rule set out there. No run can ever score when the third out of the half-inning is against the batter-runner before safely reaching first base.

The ASA rule is 5-5-B(1).
