You can continually running through second base on your way to third without "stopping."
Regardless how you want to phrase it for this specific case, the OP has the runner touching first and then leaving the bag. Either call her out; or call time and place her at first. What other choice do you have?

ASA and NFHS have the same issue regarding stopping on a base, even if not for the BR overrunning.
