I allowed the CR to just go to 1st. Seemed weird to everyone, including me, but I figured the purpose of the rule was to speed up the game. They were in the 3rd base dugout, and I admit, if not he would have ran to 1st
Now, I'm just wondering if I shouldn't do that again.

By rule, he needs to touch first before the CR can come in.
As a game management techniques -- well, you need to read the game.
