If the pitch hits you, the ball is immediately dead. You score and any other runners on base get one base from where they were at when the ball was pitched. The pitch must also be declared a ball or a strike.
HOWEVER -- if there are 2 outs and the pitch that hits you would be strike 3 to the batter -- the run doesn't count because it's the third strike to the batter.

As far as I know, Pony's rule on this matter is in line with the rules of other organizations, such as Little League, the National Federation of State High School Associations, American Legion, the NCAA, and the Official Baseball Rules.
The ball is dead. And unless the pitch was the third strike of the third out of the inning, you score and all runners advance one base from the time of the pitch. If the pitch was the third strike of the third out, you don't score because the batter-runner failed to reach first base safely.

My gut insinct is that you are safe and the pitch counts as ball or strike depending on where it hit you in relation to batters strike zone and the count on the hitter. If the pitch is strike 3 for third out your run cannot legally score. Plus the ball is dead so no further action may take place.
addendum.-- I looked it up to double check and I was right again ( honest).

I think that the batter would either have received an automatic out or a strike regardless of whether the pitch was a ball or strike due to interference with the catcher's ability to make a play. I really don't know the rules for that level of play that well.

Since you already touched home then made contact w/the pitched ball, you would be safe. The umpire would also have to rule wether the pitch was a ball or strike. Also, the ball would be live for any other runners to advance at their risk.

AFTER you had touched the plate? AFTER? You're safe. And since you were sliding, you were out of the strike zone, so if the pitch hit you, it's a ball.

im not sure but i believe it would have been a called strike to the batter and a steal of home. that is what it is under dizzy dean rules and the 2 have some similarities.

Safe obviously. You touch home plate, and you're safe. End of story.

You would score a run with a steal of home, and have a hurt leg.

Safe at home, you would still have stole home.
