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.

So if there's a slow roller past the pitcher or up either baseline and the infield is in, a good runner with good speed will never try to score? That's not really sound logic.
