Perhaps you're reading it differently than me... You only bolded part of it ... the unbolded is where I got what I got...
"
At the same time she is in her pitching motion and
would have normally released the pitch, the runner at second is called out by my BU for leaving base before the pitch is released. "
I took this to mean that at the time the pitcher would have normally released the pitch, the runner ran. IOW, had the pitch been made when it was supposed to, the runner would have been legal.
