The bases are loaded and there are two out. The score is 3-2 visitors in the 11th inning with the home team batting. The next batter hits a ball over the left field fence in fair territory for a home run. The 3rd and 2nd base runners touch home plate. The 1st base runner thinks the ball fell in the park and does not move. The batter runs past him and is called out. Who won the ball game? The home team, because they scored two runs? Or the visitors, because the runs don't count since the third out occurred in the play?

The visitors win, because the runs don't count unless the batter reaches first base safely. Since he passed up the runner who was already on first (who has a right to the base), he is automatically called out, and the game is over.

The visitors win. Because think of it as, 3-2 runner on 3rd. The batter grounds it to the shortstop, but the runner on 3rd touches homebase already and then the shortstop gets the batter going to first out. The guy on 3rd base's run did not count even though he was home before the guy running to first was out.
It's a simple play that happens every day.

The home team since the runs scored before the out was recorded.

The visitors won because the batter was called out. End of game.

I would say that since the last out occurs presumably after #3 gets home, it is at least a tie. Now, the out probably is not an out for doubling up, since hitting it out, regardless of perception, would be a free round trip for everyone. If it was a called out for doubling up on the basepaths, it would go to the 12th, tied, with the home team leaving 2 stranded and 1 out.

The visitors, becuase the guy on first has to touch 2nd base or it is a force out and no runs count.

well, if there is 2 outs you are running on contact so why did the guy on 1st not go... But If the guy never moved on 1st then the hitter never touched 1st and he has to. SO the visitors win the game

the home team wins because there are not 11 innings in a normal baseball game. im guessing that they didnt go into extra innings because you didn't say anything about any.

if he was out before making it to first base, the visitors win.
