IF this is what happened and I understand what was said, then the runner did go back and touch 1st base and then proceeded to touch second and then stop on 3rd base, people I got nothing. Let's play ball. |

He touched second after the ball went dead and before he went back to touch first.
The touch of second killed his ability to legally go back and retouch first.
He is subject to being called out on appeal EVEN IF he then goes back and touches first.
And Charlie - it's not "time of release" - it's when the ball enters DBT.
