Rules question

[ulismyman]

Yesterday i was at the state tourney in Lexington and there wasva play i have a question about. Man on 1st..batter hits fly ball down right field line just fair. The baserunner goes back to 1st to tag and batter runner almost but does not pass him up. What is the rule if he had passed him..thanks

They're both out.

I was thinking the play was dead and batter runner is out and baserunner goes back

"According to Official Baseball Rule 7.08 (h), any runner is out if he passes a preceding runner before that runner is out."
