tw1ns,

He's fine until he reaches the plate. Once he reaches the plate, he's out.

From the MLBUM:

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.
I believe some softball codes treat this differently.
