The running lane is a red herring: being outside the lane is relevant only to calling interference on BR under 7.09(k).

The call should be based on the runner establishing a base path, and determining whether he deviated from that path by more than 3 feet as the tag was attempted (7.08(a1)).

You said that he was on the right side of the running lane and took a step outside. That sounds like less than 3 feet, but that's the ruling that PU needed to make immediately.

Edit: Macaroo got it.
