Rule Supplement #27 reads in part:
(T)he base award is governed from the last base [B]legally[B] touched at the time the ball became dead.
The runner cannot have legally touched any base beyond first since he is required, by the rules, to tag first base after the catch to legally advance.
Even the award of second base is not legal unless the runner retouches first or the defending teams forgoes an appeal.
No runner can legally advance to any base if he in jeopardy of being called out for missing a previous base.
