How would you handle the situation if the runner touched where the base was supposed to be but the defense appealed the non touching of 1B?

or

The runner obviously has to stop his momentum, and "stutters" to touch the base in foul territory, and is thrown out by a hair at 2nd?

The only rules I could find, which dont exactly address this sit, were 8-3-C


8-8-N
Don't think your question makes sense but here goes:

The rules about dislodged bases pertain if a base is dislodged DURING play. You wouldn't, well I hope you wouldn't, start a game or continue a game with a base 5 FEET (is that what you meant?) out of place. You would fix it before any play began, once again I hope you would!!

Now if you meant that for some reason F3 kicked the base out of place after B1 hit the ball then B1 wouldn't have to run 5 feet out of the way to touch it.
