He's not exiting the lane to reach the base. He's out of the lane the whole time.

I am assuming that "inside the running lane" in the OP means out of the lane on the infield side. If that's not the case, I retract everything.

That is correct. B/R running (just barely on the grass) towards first base. Just as he gets to first, the ball, F3's glove & runners leg (in front base, fair side), all meet at the same time, causing F3 to drop ball.
What ya got?
