Return and retouch after ball dead

DG,

It's actually in the text of the rules. From 8-3-3d (towards the end):

Quote:

A runner shall not be declared out if the fielder deliberately throws or carries the ball into dead ball territory to prevent that runner who has touched or advanced beyond a succeeding base from returning to a missed base or a base left too soon.
