I know that happened in a baseball game, and this is a softball forum. The question is how would you call this play if it happened in a softball game.


Fly ball to the outfield, R1, on first base, is stealing on the play. Batted ball is caught, so R1 has to return to 1st base. The runner slides into second, realizes he needs to return to first on the tag up. He attempted to pivot and as he does it his foot steps towards 3rd base. He then pushes off that foot, which is on the third base side of second, and goes back to first. He does not retouch second base between the time his foot touches down and when he gets to first.

Is this an out for not retouching or not?
