Not true. The batter's box in softball is one foot longer in the front than in baseball. Just like in baseball, if a batter's foot is completely out of the box when they hit it, they are out. The cross-over steps these batters are using put them right at the front of the box, perhaps even with some of their foot out of the box... but not all of it.
