no must touch, no must retouch
B/R may run directly to 2B after running up the line past 1B.
Retouching a base is only required when runner must retreat.
Neither condition is satisfied in the OP, thus OBR is correct.
The runner advancing home and returning to 3B is not required to retouch 3B in either direction.
FED Situation 9 now requires a runner to retouch a previously occupied base before advancing to the next base. Reminds me of the FED foul ball ruling that was recently rescinded.
