This is a PERFECT example, and an opportunity to list, obscure rule interpretations that even highly experienced umpires have gotten wrong.
As shown in this thread, I'll bet the majority of us would never have protected that runner once she retouched 1st and then left it.
How many of us would say, "foul ball, her foot was still in the box", even if BR clearly ran into a fair batted ball?
There are many more.
Not a hijack attempt. An opportunity.
And AtlUmpSteve, thanks for clarifying this rule. Manny, thanks for posting.
