"The only rule which would allow the runner to be ruled out would be if the umpire thought it was intentionally done to confuse the defense (like that is hard to do) or make a travesty of the game."
How could any sane ump consider this situation "confusing the defense"? Who is he/she confusing, and to what purpose? The runner has already gained the next base (2nd), so what purpose would the runner have? Common sense should prevail, and let the play develop.
