I've umpired in leagues, baseball mostly (can't recall ever seeing it in softball) where they have a local safety rule to keep the ODB behind the batter up to bat because there is very little room in foul territory. I don't have a problem with that.
But in this case, the ODB went to the wrong circle because she was a lefty. That obviously has nothing to do with safety.
