R1 is on 1B when B2 hits a fly ball deep to left field. R1 takes off for 2B, rounds the bag and then thinking that F7 will be able to make the catch, R1 retreats back to first base, touching 2B on the way. R1 is between 2B and 1B when realizing F7 will not make the catch. F7 recovers the ball and throws to 2B for an apparent force out on R1. The umpire rules that the force out is not in effect at 2B, since R1 had already touched the bag.
RULING: Incorrect procedure. When R1 retouched 2B on the way back to 1B, the force out was reinstated and R1 should be called out.
(1-FORCE OUT)
