Guys, also be sure to add, "returns immediately" to the equation ( except in FED). So, a BR after ball 4 can over-run first in any direction provided he/she returns immediately to the base and does not (in your judgement) make an attempt to advance to 2nd.
As for the FED's logic, who knows. Perhaps it is a thinly disguised 'speed-up' rule??
