Really?
While I agree with you, that is not what the rule says (when read literally).
Here is an excerpt from the 2007 rule (8-2-E):

When the defensive player uses the colored portion of the double base, the batter-runner can run in fair territory when the throw is coming from the foul side of first base, and if hit by the thrown ball, it is not interference.

To the OP, the proper interp is what Steve said - it becomes a 6' wide running lane.
For NFHS, this make the dodge ball play a little more difficult, too.
(that one's for you, WMB!)
