UmpTT,
I presume you meant to say a "BR to retreat towards Home Plate", rather than 1B?
If so, it's in the MLBUM (nothing is said on the subject in the text of the rules themselves).
Quote:
NOTE: In situations where the batter-runner gets in a rundown between first and home, if the batter-runner retreats and reaches home plate, he shall be declared out.
