Lookback Rule at 2nd Base

I'm going with the POE (#28 I think) on the Look-back Rule that states:

If a runner is moving toward a base, other than first base, when the pitcher receives the ball in the circle, that runner must continue toward that base or be called out. (original emphasis)

So in your case, I would have called the runner out when she started dekking around.

Sam, gotta disagree here. I don't think R1 could be called
out under the look-back rule since she is entitled
to advance due to batter receiving walk. She, R1 has not
yet reached 2B she is protected and entitled to advance
without liability to be put out...We might impose a delay
of game on her though. {} or could impose 10-9A.
