Situation: 1 out, R1. BR hits a slow roller to F6 who's only option is to throw BR out at 1st.
Meanwhile R1 has reached 2nd, but mistakenly thinking there are 3 outs begins walking back to the 1st base dugout being largely ignored by the sleeping defense. The first base coach finally gets her attention and she scurries the last 10 feet back to 1st before the defense can make a play on her.
The defense then throws the ball to F3 who tags the runner and appeals that she is no longer allowed to be at 1st since she has already touched 2nd.
What's the call?
(Note: R1 left 2nd while F3 still had the ball, so the "look-back" rule wouldn't apply. (I think?) )
