For her own coach to argue, it implies the "batter" reached home on the play and the ump placed her back at 3rd. So the hit had to be really deep, meaning very likely reaching 1st before the throw.


Side issue: Do some rules govern the placement of runners on a dead ball by the lead runner; if R3 had not reached 2nd?
