Situation: No outs, R3. BR hits slow roller toward 1B. F3 fielded that ball while R3 is heading home. BR noticing F3 is going after him stopped and then make few steps back in attempt to delay tag on him. F3 give up on tagging BR and throw home - wide. R3 got home and BR to 1B. End. Now - what is the correct rulling. Some umpires say that runner can't run backward if he is forced to run forward (seems logical), but I can't find out anything about it in rules. Thanks very much for help.
PS: Sorry my poor english.
