USA Softball. Game is tied 7-7, no outs, runner on third, batter at plate. Ump announces last batter, drop dead, batter finishes at bat. The defense walks the batter. The offensive plan was to full run the walked batter past first base, rounding to second. Third base runner has a large lead hoping that the pitcher is focused on or throwing to second, so she can steal home to win the game. After the fourth ball the ump says game and stops all play. When is the last at bat finished? Fourth ball or when the play is over?
