Do I really need to walk you through what's different at first base than at 2nd or 3rd? I don't think I do - you're an umpire. This is silly.

If she turns at a 90-degree angle into foul territory after touching first, are you suggesting she's no longer at first, but instead she's now between home and first?
Yawn. I think we've ventured into the "arguing for the sake of arguing" stage. You've been told the right way to rule this (and no, I don't mean by me). What you decide to do with it is up to you.
