BATTER-RUNNER PASSING FIRST BASE
Rule 5.09(b)(4):
The exception to Official Baseball Rule 5.09(b)(4) prohibits the batter-runner from being tagged out for overrunning or oversliding first base if he immediately returns to the base. However, once the batter-runner returns to first base safely after overrunning/oversliding the base, he is no longer protected from being tagged out if he subsequently loses contact with the base.
