That's what I thought as well. Kinda hard to make a ruling if we're not sure that "passing a runner - kind of" means that she stood in the right-handed batter's box to let the BR completely pass her before she stepped over the plate without touching it, or she stepped over the plate without touching, and waited for the BR to touch while standing in the left-handed box. It is confusing.
