In my league, if the pop fly was caught as the second out, and the runner on first wasn't forced out, then if the runner on third gets home before the other runner is out, then he/she is considered safe. So basically.. if its not a forced play, and the runner gets home before the out, then yes. The run counts. But that may not be every league.

Offense v defense in softball?
Well, you need to score runs to win, but one lucky swing can give you a homer. So if you look at it this way, if out of 27 batters, one hits a home run, you're ahead 1-0 if the other team doesn't score, which a good D will prevent. Also, baseball is the only sport in which the DEFENSE controls the ball, so I'd go with defense, if you hold them at zero, you'll eventually score.

What is a hypothsis for the question what goes farther a baseball or a softball?
My hypothesis is that the baseball will indeed go farther. To explain why well because it is smaller so it will gain more speed. While a softball is big it will not gain as much speed but could be hit far as well. thank you.
The more carefully a scientist tries to answer this question, the more trouble he'd have with it. The problem is the part where it says "... slowed the most ..."
That's a concept that seems intuitively very easy to understand, but it's scientifically about as foggy as you can get. How do you measure how much a moving object has been slowed? Are we supposed to look for the greatest instantaneous negative acceleration? The greatest numeric reduction in speed? The greatest fractional reduction in speed during the total flight? The greatest fractional reduction in momentum or in kinetic energy?
Now that we've pointed out the difficulty, we're going to sweep the whole matter under the rug, and simply say to the questioner: We know what you mean.
Of the items on that list, the ping pong ball will be slowed the most by air resistance.
