I don't see how you can hold the BR accountable for not knowing where the ball is being thrown from on an uncaught third strike, unless maybe you expect her to get a signal from the first base coach to tell her she can or cannot run in fair territory and touch the white bag.
So, U3K ends up just behind the left-handed batter's box. F2 picks it up and throws to F3 who is straddling the firstbase line just short of the bags. BR, thinking the ball went to the first base side of foul territory, runs in fair territory to touch white. F2's throw hits the BR in the right shoulder. Do we call her out for a runner's lane violation or not?
