Base Running

[yankeeian24_PSN]

Why when you steal any base for something like a hit and run does the runner automatically wanna go back to the base they came to no matter where the ball is hit?
I just tried a hit and run and my runner was stealing second and I hit the ball in front of him on the ground and he fell down trying to go back to first for some reason. Why is this programmed into the game?
