I've often had players begin screaming for time when the ball is still in transit to the infield, so I probably wouldn't call this runner out for a couple of reasons.

Even the dumbest of players should know an umpire doesn't doesn't call time in the middle of a play.

Even the dumbest coach knows to tell their players to never stop running unless the coach tells them to stop.

The runner has a coach directly in front of her for direction.

The only thing missing here is a tow rope to pull the runner to the base.

Maybe it's just the level of ball. I have no problem with deceipt and "trickery". Shame on the opposition for not knowing the game.

JMHO,
