I would say so, too. And if the touch of 1B is indeed removed, then if, while the BR stood 30 feet from the plate, the defense threw to ball to 1B and F3 stepped on the base, BR would be out, right?
Support this with a rule or ruling. The runner touched first base and unless tagged before he gets to second, he is safe. There is No force involved here, as defined by the rules.
