The BRD section 419 carries an official interpretation from Mike Fitzpatrick, head of PBUC: If a runner tries to return to a previously occupied base after the pitcher has the ball on the pitcher's plate, the umpire will warn him. If he persists, he is out. Above all, the umpire must not permit the defense to play on the runner.

What can I say? I based my thinking on OBR 7.10
APPROVED RULING: (2) When the ball is dead, no runner may return to touch a missed base or one he has left after he has advanced to and touched a base beyond the missed base.
In this situation I have learned and I believe it was from you, that the umpire should not intervene if the runner does return and handle the situation as if he had not.
Somewhat of a conflict eh but I have been overuled by the masters and will concede. G.

Sorry, you didn't learn it from me. Apparently, you didn't learn it at all. (grin)
