Her statemant begain "If I thiink the runner left early..."
My response was "If you think they left early, that's good baserunning. If you KNOW they left early - Make the call."

Good advice, Roger.

My point being, If you are going to enforce an obscure rule in a big situation be sure you have a clear cut violation. Don't make an unexpected call without clear and convincing evidence that the violation has occured!
