Runner question
Apprerciate your thoughts: R1 on 3B as only runner. Batter (now R2)gets walk and after ball back to pitcher in 16 foot circle, R2 touches 1st and keeps running toward 2nd base. Pitcher looks back R1 to third and throws to 2nd. R2, realizing she is a dead duck, stops running and gets into a rundown between 1st and 2nd. During the rundown, R1 races home and scores without a throw. After a few tosses back and forth, R2 safely reaches 2nd base.
RULING: Is R2 out as soon as she retreated back to 1st base IN VIOLATION OF LOOK-BACK RULE and R2 should be returned to 3rd or would run count and R2 safe at second?
