Ok I find the definition to the ASA running lane in Rule 8, sec 2 (2001 book). But I had a fluke play happen to me last weekend I'd like some opinion on, please. 12&Under. Semi-final game of indoor tounament. We are in the bottom of the 8th extra inning, going on close to 3 hours. No outs. Bases loaded. Left handed first baseperson. Right handed batter. Infield drawn in to play the force at home plate. Batter hits a full swing ground ball to the firstbase person who in throwing home hits the batter-runner coming out of the box. Run scores. Game over. Coach asks why runner interference isn't called. Reason given: Batter-runner had not even reached the running lane and has the right to run inside the baseline markings until they reach that point. True? Coaches satisfied. Everyone shakes hands. Was I right or wrong?
