Talk about screwing up a simple question and answer.......

The question asked was extremely specific. A runner retreating from a base to which they were forced does not have to be tagged to be retired by the defense. Therefore, the answer to the question IS false.

Of course, it doesn't help to interject another rule set (OBR) to a rule-set specific question.
