8.6.22 SITUATION B: B2 hits a grounder to F6 whose throw to F3 is not in time to retire B2. However, B2, who has not been called out, leaves the baseline and heads for the dugout. RULING: B2 may be declared out if the umpire judges the act of B2 to be considered abandoning her effort to run the bases.

Mike (Irish) didn't like my use of the phrase "abandoning her effort to advance", but it is appropriate for NFHS.
