R1 comes flying back to 1B, overruns it into the coaches box, then returns to the bag just as the BR is returning. Now I have 2 runners standing on 1st.
Don't know why R1 did this, but he did.
F3 tags R1 and is called out (by me). But.... not sure if that was the correct call.
Questions:
1) Was BR out automatically when R1 returned to 1B and overran it, thus placing BR ahead of R1. (OBR 7.08 (h))
2) Should F3 have been forced to tag the BR because R1 in entitled to the base. (OBR 7.03)
3) Was the call correct, because force over-rules OBR 7.03 (OBR 7.01)

IMO, BR is out for passing R1, when R1 overruns 1B and goes into batters box. He is essentially between 1B and home, and BR is beyond 1B.
