Isn't this the new rule in OBR for 2007; once the batter leaves the 26 foot circle around home plate he has relinquished his opportunity to advance to 1B? I have used this new rule once this year in a lower level game. Similar scenario as OP, I called him out when I guessstimated he had walked at least 13 feet from home towards his dugout.
