Being the devil's advocate here, 8.7.T.2 says the runner is out if she leaves the base for any reason. Now,
SOMEBODY has got to leave the base. The rules state 2 runners cannot occupy the same base. We have a paradox. If she stays on, she's out. If she leaves, she's out. As an umpire, I love this, I'm getting my out one way or the other. But common sense, says maybe a little more verbiage in the LBR rule on 8.7.T.2 could clarify this.
