The ump told me that running to the fair side of the first base line and avoiding the tag was against the rule. The runner was not called out for running over three foot outside the base line, he was called out for being on the fair side of the base line when he avoided the tag. I read FED rule 8.4.1g and the exception and I can't find where the runner has to run in the running lane unless a throw is being made and he interferes with that throw. I think the ump blew the call.
