Why not 8-6-18, "runner fails to keep contact with the base" ... "until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand". That is an out, no tag required.
Although the LBR can apply to that situation, it is about running/attaining bases and resetting; not a base already attained. Still an out.

There is no dead ball territory involved, so 8-6-19 does not apply.

Art. 8-6-3 is about batted balls, so also not relevant.

8-6-18 applies during the pitch. This is about the LBR and it's an LBR violation. She left a base she was stopped at while the ball was in the circle.
