Running to First

Unless you judged that the BR was running into the infield to intentionally interfere, there is no infraction here that I can see.

Dakota,
Rule 8-2-5 does not require "intention".

By running inside the line, the runner may, or may not, have interfered with the defense, based soley upon the umpires judgement.
By running outside the line the runner will not have interfered.
