R1 is past second when umpire declares dead ball.
ASA rules.
Umpire yells " Out! Dead Ball, runners advance one base."
Assuming R1 retouches first, what base is he/she entitled to?

Call: "Dead ball" then "Out" then hesitate to see runner's reaction prior to announcing any award. When you are satisfied the runner has finished the base-running task at hand, announce the one base award. (8.6.J)
