"If R1 was not all the way back to 1st when the ball went dead, would he need to stop, go back, and touch 2nd BEFORE he touched 1st or would he still be vulnerable to an appeal after touching 1st without correcting his miss of 2nd even if he later touched 2nd base while accepting his 2-base award on the overthrown ball?"
1. If the runner went back and touched second base after the ball was dead he would negate the missed base appeal at second but would be precluded from negating the leaving early violation at first per OBR 7.10(b)AR2 and would still be vulnerable to an appeal at first.
2. However, if the runner, without retouching second, returned and touched first base he would negate the left early violation and then could "re"touch second and third on the award and negate the missed base violation at second under the Last Time By citation. G.
