Here is a quote from "The Rules of Professional Baseball: A Comprehensive Reorganization and Interpretation" by Chris Jaska and Rick Roder.
" A runner who, in the course of running the bases, goes by a base (within a body's length) has either touched or passed the base; in either case he has "acquired" the base. If he has touched the base, he is not vulnerable to a subsequent appeal that he has missed that base. If he has "passed" the base, he has failed to touch it, but is considered to have touched it until there is an appeal against his failure to touch. The defense has a responsibility to recognize a failure to touch a base."
(P. 43)
