I may sound confused but now that I have been educated again on the force play and in fact that there is no base to go back to. I guess I must ask the look back rule questions because it comes into play here after the runner has touched first and the pitcher has control of the ball in the circle. The pitcher did get to the circle with control but after the what is now a runner had already figured it out and was headed directly back to first. Now my thoughts are more inclined to say that there is no play because all we have is a runner after over running first returning to first. It was stated that she made no attempt to go to second, she had to have come back towards the infield and didn't go directly towards second, so she is committed to first but not until the pitcher is in the circle with control of the ball and at that time she was headed directly back to first. No play.
