Generally, abandonment is called when a runner stops running the bases in any form. Such as going to his defensive position or going back to the dugout. In yours, he is running the bases and he is not causing a travesty of the game. So, no out is given. You definitely do NOT want to make that call in that situation. I can only imagine the storm that will cause.
