The announcers never discussed what I thought was an issue on this play; The runner leaving the basepath.  How far can she circle out into left field to avoid the tag?

[WarTiger 3,901]

Gutierrez pinch hitting and lines one hard to 1st but its caught and Marasette is doubled up to end the inning.

Chardonnay Harris in the circle.   Nice to see Dean getting her some early work in the circle.   Great experience that will help in the future.  McKenna Dowell checks in at 3rd.   Olszewski in right and Abby Tissier in at catcher.

Final Auburn wins it in 5.   12-1.
