"SNIP"
"So in your case, as soon as R1 touches third, he is no longer able to return and touch."
------------------------------------------------
The trouble here is that if the runner does go back after touching his advance base, the defense, due to lack of rules knowledge, will not appeal since the runner has now touched his previously missed base the last time by, albeit illegaly and there is nothing the umpire can do about it. G.
