Second, overrunning is not defined in the book so I guess you could decide that was this, but on the I know it when I see it theory this isn't overrunning.

I see no attempt for 2nd. A runner can take any path to the base they want.
As long as not over 3 feet from original avoiding a tag. Might have been 3, but not in my judgment.
