Runners are not compelled to stay in any sort of line when they are running the bases and not being chased by a fielder. Think about a runner who is trying for a triple. He is allowed to take as wide of a turn as he wants. He can run as wide as he wants between first and second. And also between second and third. There is no rule that says he must stay within 3 feet of the straight line between bases. That only comes in to play when a runner is being run down by a fielder with the ball trying to make a tag. | |
