Are you suggesting we have to assume she touched 2nd and 3rd and force the defense to appeal she missed either of those bags? Just trying to understand how you reasoned this one a score.

Actually, I'm reasoning the opposite and using this sitch to make my point. Read up higher. The runner (from first) ran across the diamond on the way to the dugout... during what was actually a live ball. She went near or touched 3rd (depending on which what-if you're reading) - my point was that I'm not positive it matters... and that if it DOES matter that she touched third and you're now going to insist she retouch 2nd before heading to first - then in the situation I posted above, you're going to have to score the run instead of putting the girl back on first base... and wait for an appeal for missing 2nd and 3rd that may not come if the coach can't keep himself in the game.
