You're kidding, right? Since when did 'base availability' dictate the runner's path?

Not sure why the runner didn't slide to the back corner of the plate, but i assume that she didn't know that the ball was coming and didn't her direction from her coach to slide. I wouldn't be surprised what this umpire would call, but likely he would just call safe or out because he clearly looks clueless...

The runner doesn't have to slide and failure to do so is not reason to determine a safe/out call.
