That's what I thought

Can't understand why the author deleted it. I liked the discussion and I had a question for you Steve in my last post, but obviously you didn't see since it's gone. So here it is again....

What rule are you basing the statment you made that retouching home and heading back to third unscores the run? Are you just extending to this situation the rule that states if a runner returns to a based they were forced to leave, that reinstates the force? Doesn't exactly apply here, but I see the logic.

I like your line of reasoning, I just want to know if there is a rule we can hang our hat on. Now if a runner has scored and errorneously thinks they have to return to 3rd and does so, we still score the run correct? Even if they are "tagged" while off the base?
