That's interesting. If he didn't go back and touch 2B, and you awarded him home on the throw, could the defense then appeal the BR not touching second, or leaving early?

The baserunner still has to complete his responsibilities. He is certainly subject to appeal for any mistakes made. But this runner did touch 2B on the way back to 1B, touched 1B, and then touched all the bases going forward.

ASA is the only code I know of that awards home on this play. In OBR, once the runner initiates a return, the award is 3B (2 bases from the base he was returning to). The reasons are complicated.

Incidentally, would you uphold the appeal if the runner missed 2B on the way back to 1B, but then retouched 1B and in taking his award of home then correctly touched 2B, 3B, and home plate?
