OBR 7.10 approved ruling - '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.

JM and I both answered that.

The OBR rule means you can't retreat if you touch the next base AFTER the ball became dead.


"i still don't like the idea of the defense getting two cracks at an appeal."

You don't have to like it but you have to allow it.

You can either comprehend and move on or remain a new ump forever. Your choice.
