Because he didn't legally retouch it.

In FED, if the runner is past the next base when the ball goes out of play or reaches it after it goes out, he cannot retouch a preceding base (unless the defense intentionally put the ball out of play to prevent him from returning.)

In OBR and NCAA, if the runner reaches any base after the ball goes out of play, he cannot correct an error at a preceding base.

Thus, because he reached 2B after the ball went out of play, he cannot correct an infraction at 1B.
