Anybody know if that is a Little League interpretation? Do they not use the "one big bag after the initial play" interp, like ASA?

Regardless, I have a safe runner that legally overran (overslid) first base, made no attempt to second, and I am denying the appeal as she returns to the base (she just hasn't finished returning, yet). She was not in jeopardy when she was tagged, IMO.
