Interesting. I cannot find anything in the rule book on that. I see in the ASA rule book she is not considered "abandoning the base" until she enters "the team area" which I would assume is the dug out in most cases. I just thought it would seem weird to have the runner cutting through the middle of the field to run the 1st base, but it appears there are no rules against it, or at least I could not find any.
Thanks
