Other than those slow pitch gorilla divisions that do not require the runners to run on homeruns, a runner must always run & touch the bases legally. So, in ASA, a runner is out - live ball or dead ball - for passing a preceding runner. Mike may be aware of a formal position on this, but I am not aware of any. And, as always, am willing to stand corrected. As an example, ASA does require a runner who missed a base to return to touch the base when a ball has gone out of play or risk being called out on appeal for missing the base.
