A. No, she was creating a new base path when she made the turn to go back to 3B. (This new base path is a natural running motion, and one that is no different than a fast runner making a wide turn around 1B on their way to 2B.)
B. As previous posters and the OP have stated, there is
no tag to be avoided here. ASA 8.7.A.
