"Retreat" has the connotatin of a deliberate act. It also has the connotation of going back to a previous base. Therefore, If the runner deliberately headed back to 1B it would be a retreat.

So is an overslide on a return to 2B a retreat toward 1B? Don't think so. 1) The runner would be headed to RF, not 1B, and 2) going to 1B wasn't the intent.
