Then you still shouldn't be granting time before the play is over- and it's not over until you've given the runner the opportunity to correct his base running mistake or he's stopped running.
Really...would you grant time on any other play when runners haven't finished running the bases and were still in jeopardy? |

Please enlighten us as to how to treat it as such per NFHS? I am not sure what you are trying to say. MTD, Sr. |

I wouldn't consider the play over while the runner still has base running duties to complete and is in the act of completing them.
Using your "logic"... R1 on first base. Batter hits fly ball to F8. R1 takes off at the crack of the bat. The fly ball is caught. R1 realizes his mistake just short of second base, reverses direction and is heading back to first to correct his mistake. Would you grant the defense time while R1 is heading back? Why or why not? How is the missed first base play any different? |

Case 8.2.2C "The defense cannot appeal the missed base if the runer has initiated an attempt to return to the base"
While it's a judgment call, in my judgment, walking back to first is an attempt to return |
8.2.2 SITUATION C
"The runner from first base misses SECOND base on his way to third..." Again, we are talking overrunning and missing FIRST base here. I still contend there is a difference between missing any other base and trying to correct the mistake and missing first base and not trying to correct it. |
