There is one exception to the above, which occurs rarely: if the runner on 3B would score a walk-off run, he may try to advance even when the inf is playing In, and you will get a play at Home.

Makes sense.. but you don't have time to look a runner back to 3B and then complete a DP - well, I guess it could be done if the runners are slow as molasses.
