running bases in reverse order

My partner called an out on R1 for running backwards(in the reverse direction) in the baseline. R1 never left the baseline and did not interfere with any fielder trying to make a play. He simply stopped and backed up to avoid being tagged by F4.

So, I guess every player caught in a rundown is automatically out?

This player is going to corner me at the next game and ask me if I agreed with the call. What a mess!!

I agree with Mike -- do not answer the question. Tell him he needs to take it up with your partner.
