re: Not running through First base

I remember watching a MLB the other week. The guy pop up to the pitcher and immediately started walking back to the dugout. The infield ended up dropping it. Never give up on a play

MS State made it past USM to the super regional largely because of a similar play, but State ran it out. State batter popped up to very shallow right. Three USM players stood under it but somehow watched it hit the ground. State batter would have been suicidal, or murdered by his coach, if he had not run it out.
