So, if a BR is hit by the ball when she is in fair territory on that last stride in order to touch first base, you are saying it should be treated one way (no violation) if she was in the lane until that last stride, and the other way (lane violation) if she was never in the lane to begin with.
I don't agree. The BR is allowed to be outside the lane for the purpose of touching first base. What difference should it make how she got there?
