Or, if you don't like that, tie counts as a win for the home team after 11-1/2, or if they re-tie/go ahead in the bottom of the 12th. No pitching win or loss is awarded if a tie, but is if the home team hits a walk-off HR in the bottom 12th that actually gives them a lead (Example: Visitors score 2 in top of 12th to go up 6-4, Home team gets single run, followed by walkoff 3RHR to win game outright in bottom 12th 8-6).
Anything is better than artificially putting a runner on base. You might as well finish the game with a home run derby or a sausage race.

Honestly, a homerun derby would be better. At least that would be kind of like a shootout in hockey/football (not American football).
