You can award home if they don't go back and tag up, but the defensive should be able to appeal then and get the out. I guess that is the crux, you have to award home because it's not the umpires job to let the defense know that the runner has to tag up to be safe from an appeal. (still stinks)

Given there is no out at 1st for not tagging, isn't the last base safely reached actually 2nd?
