No Russ, all they have to do is make contact! You know, like last night... And lets not let the announcers off the hook. Most people learn what they know of the game from the people talking about it on TV and vague rememberences of things their little league coach said 30 years ago (or maybe that guy in the movie said that..). Announcers tend to treat runners on 3B with less than 2 outs as runs that should already be tallied.
