Runners on 1st and second 1 out batter hits home run . Runners on 1st and second score and as batter who hit home run rounds third , the third base coach shakes hands and touches runner . Home plate umpire called batter out and allowed both runs to score . Was this the correct ruling ? Thanks

Home run hitter should score. The ball was dead.

The rule is the coach cannot physically assist the runner. Shaking hands, slapping on back etc are not physically assisting the runner.
