Why didn't the defense try to pick him off after the ball was put back in play?

Yeah, there is a retouch the base rule which was designed for this type of play...years and years ago there was an MLB guy who after a foul ball would go stand right next to his next base and declare "this is my lead." Yeah, it probably could've been handled differently by the ump, but the defense also shares some of this burden. Esp at the Babe Ruth level.
