The batter's box

Hi there softball people,

I am a baseball only umpire, so please forgive my ignorance in this matter.

Watching the NCAA Women's Softball World Series, I notice that the batters are allowed to run completely out of the batter's box and hit the ball. Isn't this illegal, to hit the ball with their foot/feet completely outside the lines of the box, just like baseball? The commentators seem okay with it, as do the umpires, so is this really legal? I have no softball rule books, or I wouldn't have bothered y'all with this.

Thanks,

Steve
