That is, a quality throw would have been to the foul-side of the base.

Or because if the BR had not yet reached the running lane, there is no running lane violation?

I don't work school ball, so I'm not sure about this: am I correct that FED does not require a quality throw? If not, this could be a running lane violation if the BR interfered with the fielder's opportunity to catch the throw, right?

I know you asked Bob, but, I would say yes to the first. I don't believe the second question is relevant but, unless intentional, would be true.

You are correct, FED only requires a throw, but I learned the hard way on that one. In the OP, what did the BR INT with? Nothing, which is what I would have in FED 8-4-1g(1)
