I threw this out there so we could talk about softball rules again.
I guess this comes down to the umpire's judgment as to whether the runner who had scored was still in her "running" mode or heading toward the dugout or some other place on the field.

OTOH, for her to have been running the she was directly between the ball and the plate, the runner probably should have been aware of a play as the ball and catcher, by description of the play, had to be right in front of her.
