  W.Boggs grounds a single to RCF.  
  D.Henderson enters the game as a pinch-runner for W.Boggs.  
DPOD B.Ruth hits a groundball single to CF. D.Henderson advances to 3B despite the throw.  
IIOS J.Foxx swings and misses for strike 3.  
IIOS T.Williams draws the walk.  
IIOS T.Speaker hits one to RF that bounces over the wall for a ground-rule double. D.Henderson scores.

Bases loaded Tie game Bottom 9.
Speaker hits a ground rule double.
Does the game end 6-5 when Henderson scores from 3rd or does it end 7-5 because Ruth scores from 2nd on the Ground Rule 2B?

6-5.  Only the first run counts in this scenario.  And Speaker should only be credited with a single, with 1 RBI.

Only exception is a home run that leaves the park, in which case all runs count.

We had another thread on this not too long ago. contrarian is 100% correct. HR counts as a HR, anything else is a single.
