A B-R that overruns 1B and turns left and stops - must then committ to either 2B or return to 1B - non-stop.

A B-R that overruns 1B and turns left and moves towards 2B and stops - is committed to continue to 2B.

A B-R that overruns 1B and turns left and turns back towards the infield (any direction except towards 2B) is committed to return to 1B.

Simply, a B-R that has overrun 1B and turned left has 3 options:
Stop - and choice of 2B or 1B.
Move towards 2B, committed to 2B
Move towards infield, committed to 1B.

Otherwise be called out for LBR violation.
