There is nothing in the baseball rule book, but OBR does recognize the difference. Example from the J/R:

Abel on 1B. Baker hits a line drive to right-center. Abel rounds 2B and is halfway to 3B when the ball is caught.

Play A: Abel retraces his steps but misses 2B. Throw to 1B bounces off F3 and rolls to the backstop. Abel touches 1B and then runs to 2B.

Ruling: Although Abel missed 2B while returning, an appeal of that miss would be denied, as Abel has now touched 2B (touched it last time by).

Play B: Abel, halfway to 3B, runs directly to 1B. Throw to 1B bounds away, and Abel tags 1B and then runs to 2B.

Ruling: The appeal at 2B is upheld, because Abel's miss was a "gross error," defined as by "more than a body length."

I have no idea whether Fed baseball would rule the same way, but that's the OBR rule.
