In Girls Fast-pitch, with the ball in the pitching circle and the batter/runner decides to make the same attempt after a "walk" was issued (with or without a runner at third) . Is the overrun towards second( 2 steps approx.) allowable ? Is this the "Indecision Rule" on the b/r without an appeal? No attempt is made by the pitcher to check the b/r back(throw).

Speaking ASA
The Lookback (with the ball in the circle) allows the BR to continue through 1B and if they choose to continue in the dirction of 2B, that is also fine. That runner is allowed one stop. Once stopped, the runner must immediately decide to proceed or return. A second stop prior to reaching a base or failure to react immediately calls for the ball to be killed and the runner called out.
