In FED, you cannot back up towards home. I don't remember the rule reference. BR is out, ball is dead, all runners return to bases occupied at TOP.
NOT in FED Baseball Here's a FED case play for reference.
FED case play 8.1.1A
R1, B1 bunts to F3 who fields the ball on the first bounce near the foul line. B1 STOPS and REVERSES toward HOME to avoid being tagged out by F3, who then throws to F6 for a force out on R1, and the relay throw fails to retire B1 at first.
RULING:
As long as B1 DID NOT TOUCH or RUN BEYOND home nor leave the base path to avoid the tag, the action is LEGAL.
