OVERRUNNING A BASE WITHOUT TOUCHING IT
Rule 5.06(a)(1):
A runner does not acquire the right to an unoccupied base on an attempt to retire the runner until he touches it before he is put out. This is true regardless of whether the umpire’s act of not making a call signifies to the defensive team that the runner failed to touch the base for purposes of an appeal play. See Official Baseball Rule 5.09(c)(3).
