One step further.
The ball is dead, the runner gets a two base award but in order to take that two base award he has to go back and touch the missed base which would not be allowed under OBR 7.10(AR).
You would allow him to retouch, take his award and then call him out and not do it when he (re)touched first which of course would all be done with a dead ball.
Prior to C2's bringing the interps for 7.01 to my attention I never knew they existed. It does seem consistant when using it on 7.10(AR) but in all these years I have never known that to be the case but it does seem to be the right thing to do. G.
