Secondly, there is no rule forbidding a runner to deviate from a baseline or abandoning a base.
On a walk, the runners forced by the award are entitled to advance without liability of being put out. (8.5.A)
The umps didn't cost anyone anything. Just because the BR failed to advance to and touch 1B is a separate issue.

OP: "BR goes into dugout ". That makes the BR out, but nothing the defense can do about the other runners.
