In an MLB (sorry) game, there was a question of what constituted "passing a base".
The issue apparently was whether if only one foot touched the ground after the base, did that count as "passed" or did it have to be both feet.
Have you ever seen or heard a rule about that, softball or the other?
I would treat it as "passed" even if only one foot.

I think the issue is not whether the base was passed, but at what point the runner is considered to be "on the way back".
