Essentially, in either code, for a BR who doesn't know she's a BR and stops trying to advance to first, we're talking about abandonment. I'm not a big abandonment guy, and I know several umpires like to use that FAR too quickly and FAR too aggressively. However, in THIS case - I believe it applies. And if a teammate tosses the BR her glove so that she can go play a position - that's a pretty clear indication to me of a player who has abandoned her wish to advance to a particular base.

NFHS Casebook 8.1.1 Situation A for the three ways.
This is not abandonment. Check 8-6-19:
A runner is out when...she abandons a base by entering dead-ball territory.
