    Yes, the run would count because he is not on a force play at home, so the batter does not have to reach first base safely. But, it would be very unlikely there would be a SWINGING strike 3 while the runner is stealing home.

    • So, same scenario, but its a called 3rd strike. Same answer? But I think mrumpiresir got the right answer. In my comment to him I posited the same scenario but pitch resulted in a long fly, runner scored B4 fly was caught, run does not score. I *think* that if the batter makes the 3rd out, in any way, no runs can be scored on that pitch. I am just an amatuer scorer, so don't quote me to the league commishners.
