Hi mcrowder,
"At the moment the runner was passing by the fielder, where were A) the fielder, B) the runner, and C) the ball, in relation to the actual baseLINE (not path)".
A: THE FIELDER... was about 9 feet up the line towards third base and about three feet from the center of the base-line.
B: THE RUNNER... was in about the same area, perhaps a half foot or so closer to third base... if measuring in that direction, but she was in the middle of the base-line, which put her 3' away from the fielder... if measuring in that direction. But she (the runner) was just starting to change her direction knowing an imminent tag attempt was coming, because the fielder had already caught the ball and was starting an attempted swipe tag.
C: THE BALL... was in the fielders glove as she just caught the incoming throw from the cut-off fielder.
You would have enjoyed seeing this play. It's the kind of play that makes softball the best game in the world IMO. But it's the kind of play that brings out the worst in some coaches.
