But do you think the 3B to home base path is always enforced?

I can tell you, it isn’t. Runners go way wide of 3rd all the time, well onto the grass right in front of the dugout (in baseball) and I can’t say I’ve ever seen them called out for it.

I know this is whiny but I just wish VT would win a game that way just ONCE

Mea culpa. I certainly forgot that one. About as fluky as you can get.
HolidayInnHokie • 05/18/24 09:25 PM ET
It's because fans tend to remember painful losses more than fortunate wins.

One correction. There is a base path between 3rd and home.

She was tagged out; the call that was overruled was interference
hokiepro • 05/18/24 10:16 PM ET
Then the rule is idiotic. We are rewarding poor throws to the plate.

"Running out of the base path is called when avoiding a tag by the fielder.
TomTurkey • 05/18/24 09:13 PM ET
Agreed as you round third you will always end up fairly wide of baseline
