Doesn't really matter about the K, the batter runner was smart to run, this is why you run on everything, it drew the throw. Unfortunately, for the defensive team, who probably got the out (from a K) but the run scored. Lesson learned for me, continue drilling to my kid, run on everything and when in doubt, make the play until the ump says stop!
I agree with you, to a certain point. I remember 100 years ago when Louuuuuise was in Rec Ball, there were some teams that had their batter run every time Strike 3 was called. In my opinion, it made the players look like they didn't know what they were doing. This would be a good time to teach the young players what conditions need to be present that would allow them the possibilities of running to first.
