Batter draws base on balls, runs to 1st, rounds the bag, stops and immediately returns to 1st base. Pitcher now has possesion and in the circle. Runner on first is now standing on the orange bag, not the white. Never touched the white portion until after the next pitch. After the game I asked Umps(I know them) what the call was. They said she should have been out but, missed call. Asked another and he said only out if she was on the orange when the pitcher relased the ball. I'm under the impression that once pitcher has the ball in the circle, you have to maintain contact with base until she releases the next pitch. Right or wrong?
