Is there a rule that says a runner is out if he avoids a tag at first by running inside the foul line and not staying in the running lane? I watched a high school game yesterday where the home plate umpire ruled the runner was out because he ran around a tag at first in fair territory. Thanks for any insite to this play.

High School Rule 8-4-2.a "Any runner is out when he: a. runs more than three feet away from a direct line between bases to avoid being tagged....while the runner is advancing or returning to a base". pg 54
