Turner never got back to the line. Ever

The bama player clearly got to the line before any interference occurred

Here are his last three steps, all clearly on the line.









And here is the rule showing you it does not matter when the runner gets back to the line as long as no previous interference occurred

quote:

However, it is not required for the runner to be within the runners lane the entire time up to 1st base. The runner may enter the lane at the 50’ mark, the 60’ mark or even the 80’ mark as long as both feet have established themselves within the lane, and no interference with the throw or catch has occurred up to this point in time.

The middle photo clearly shows that if Jones had hi right foot on the inside corner of the bag he could have easily stretched and caught the throw before it ever reached the base path.

It could still be argued there was interference by the runner who was out of the running lane at the time Milazzo made the throw. There was no interference with the catch as he had gotten back to legal position by then.
