Rule 8-7-T-3-c is talking about when the pitcher already has the control of the ball and is in the pitcher's circle. If the runner overruns 1st and turns left, she's OK, as long as she goes to 1st. However, if she turns left "...and moves directly towards second...", in other words commits to 2nd, she's gonna be out if she stops after the commitment. She can turn left, move directly to 2nd and not stop and be safe. It's all timing. If she turned left, the pitcher has control of the ball in the circle, and the runner takes several steps towards 1st after control is attained, then commits to 2nd, she's gonna be out.
The way I understand it, that is.
