Read the rule. If you still think you have it right, read the rule again.
Quote for us where it says anything about retouching, or legally touched bases, or anything of the sort. Good luck there, as these words only appear in Jim's ASA Calvinball book.
The rule is simple - the LAST BASE TOUCHED... what they have to do otherwise is irrelevant.

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.
Even the award of second base is not legal unless the runner retouches first or the defending teams forgoes an appeal.
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.
No runner can
legally advance to any base if he in jeopardy of being called out for missing a previous base.
