Sure. 8-3-B:

When a runner or batter-runner acquires the right to a base by touching it before being put out, the runner or batter-runner is entitled to hold that base until legally touching the next consecutive base or is forced to vacate it for a trailing runner. When a runner passes a base, the runner is considered to have touched that base. This also applies to awarded bases.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
