Well,
No player is required to "disappear" when put out.
BR has every right to run until he is clearly out.
The defense (and in this case umpire) have a responsibility to know what is happening.
Edmonds (Washington) Community College always had the BR continue his route after hitting a fly ball.
After several complaints a ruling was requested from the NCAA (this will date the game and how old I am) at this time there were official rulings from the NCAA on Junior Colleges.
The ruling agreed that the BR has every right to run until it is obvious he is out . . . baring any intentional contact with a defensive player or the ball there appears to be no violation of rules in your play.
And yes, he can only be out once.
