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.

The rule was quoted above, I just wanted to mention that the umpire did not call him out for NOT staying in the running lane, he called him out for running out of the base line.
Its the same when the runner is advancing or returning to any base.
Thanks
