I'm wondered about that one myself, (it's Joe Morgan's list). I'm thinking that if you cross the plate before the third out is recorded it counts, but you're the umpire.

Then I don't know, bro. If I ever run into Joe Morgan I'll ask him.

How would you score it if the infielder fielded the ball but, "put it in his pocket," as they say, rather than risk a throw to first and the guy on third scored? That's a fielder's choice, isn't it?

I would think that would be an infield single. Now if there was a guy on first and they threw to second but didn't get him and the guy on third scored, I think that would be a fielder's choice. Also if they threw home and didn't get him.
