8.7.T.2. A batter-runner who over-runs first base toward right field, turns left and immediately stops, must then return non-stop to first base or attempt to advance non-stop to second base.
Please realize this is being done in jest. I understand the rule but just responding literally to the words in your challenge.

Hoisted on my own petard -- I'd briefly forgotten that the look back rule covers overrunning explicitly. Well done.
