That is what it's called. Thank you! One important thing here as an umpire...would be that if the defense is making a play on the runner (R1) in this situation, if the runner steps backward or not in a path toward 1st or 2nd...we may have an out for failure to maintain a direct path to a base...so in this case...when we're umpiring this type of a play...we have some things to watch for...granted this type of play might be considered to be a little bit "bush" we should know how to handle the play so we're not the ones looking like fools when a team tries to run this play.
