Bob,
I was guessing that your answer was correct since the rule says "before TOUCHING first base" and not "before REACHING first base".
I was just confused because I have always subscribed to the theory that if a BR overran first without touching and had started to return to touch, then the fielder had to tag him. Is this at least accurate?
If the BR misses first and is diving back, can an appeal without a tag then be granted as an out?
