Or from the NCAA rulebook page 196.

"the batter-runner may run OUTSIDE the runner's lane to touch the base on the last stride"

Just saw a simular play in the AZ-OK game at super regionals in Tucson. Looked like the plate umpire made a good call.

I too saw the play at the Ok-Az game. I thought the plate ump made a good call and the replays confirmed it. The runner was clearly inside the diamond her entire run to 1B.

Thought the 1B umpire got entirely too much face time on camera, though. Wondering if he paid off the camera crew.:D
