8-2-e Runners lane interference

[rbmartin]

I'm sorry but I'm only an OBR Baseball Umpire. I only have access to OBR baseball rules. Could someone please quote for me in it's entirety the rule concerning Runners Lane Interference (I think it's 8-2-e) (FED HS Girls Fastpitch). Thanks. I couldn't find an online link.

Odd, unless Fed just happens to match perfectly with ASA on this one rule, or the 8-2-E you seek is actually the ASA rule.

Is there a specific scenario that you have?

Sorry. You are correct. The number I listed was from an ASA website. I Simply need the FED rule for RLI.

8.2
ART. 5 . . . She runs outside the three-foot (0.91m) lane and, in the judgment
of the umpire, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base (there must be a throw); however, the batter-runner may run outside the three-foot (0.91m) lane to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball. A runner is considered outside the running lane if either foot is completely outside the lane and in contact with the ground.

Thanks. Is the 3 foot wide lane described verbally somewhere in the rulebook(ie. the last half of the distance between home and first) or is it a dimensioned graphic?

Rule 2
SECTION 58 THREE-FOOT RUNNING LANE
The three-foot running lane is the space defined by a line drawn 3 feet from and parallel to the first base foul line starting halfway between home and first base and extending to first base in foul territory.

Wording as above is where these myths originate.

If a defender is fielding a batted ball anywhere, s/he cannot be in the act of taking a throw at 1st which is necessary for a 3' lane violation.

And the fact that NFHS can have a lane violation on a Base on Balls.........
