Don't have an ASA Rulebook Handy
Sorry, I don't have a ASA Rulebook Handy only my NCAA Rulebook. For the most part, they are the same.
It basically says that a basepath is defined as a direct line between the two bases. The runner shall be given 3 feet either way. The runner may run out of the basepath to avoid interfering with a fielder, the ball, or during her last stride to touch a base 165-166 Section 23. Further, the BR can only be cited for interference on the catch not the throw. Nowhere "Catchability" mentioned. A good catcher will notify 1st base by yelling "Inside" or "Outside" depending on the location of the ball and which "throwing lane" they are going to use. If the catcher decides to throw-over the runner, then my partners better be getting ready for a play at 2nd because the ball is going into the outfield. In this case, I believe that the rule was mis-applied.
