B2 strikes out; R1 on 1B is attempting to steal. B2 steps out of the box heading back to her dugout & gets in the way of the catcher's play. 7-6O applies, right?

So, how does her run toward 1B change the rule to be applied?
The only difference that could be brought up in a discussion would be that the retired batter is expected to return to the dugout, while in the previous scenario, the retired batter was doing something which has no merit especially since the umpire was emphatic when ruling the batter out.

Other than that, once again, you have a retired batter which is not addressed in the rule book. You could start with 7.6.0, but you may end up back at 10.1.
