[B]Don, R1 is permitted to run to 1B if s/he so desires. According to your scenario, R1 had not yet been put out at the time s/he reversed direction, hence this was not a player continuing to run after being retired with the intention of confusing the defense. The runner did nothing inappropriate or in violation of any rule. ---------------------------------------------------------- Mike, If R1 is retreating back to 1B prior to having been put out, then maybe s/he was trying to entice defense into continuing to make a play. Would this be intent? Don did say runner turned and ran back toward 1B. I agree with rule cited and that runner must go somewhere, but normally a retired runner coming from 1B veers towards the outfield, or on around towards 3B. I might get a bit nervous and look up and miss throw if I was firstbase person and saw runners coming from both directions. Just some other line of thought glen
