Another example. R1 on 2nd, R2 on first. Grounder to F3 who steps on bag and fires to third. BU mistakenly calls R1 out on force play. R1 started to return to 2nd, but after the OUT call, stops running and a few seconds later is tagged while walking to her dugout.
The mistaken call of OUT removed her opportunity to try to return to 2nd and put her in jeopardy. Upon realizing the mistaken call, R1 should be put back on 2nd (R2 to 1st if necessary)
