Coaches, would like to hear your opinions on this play, and what your reaction would have been. What would you have said to your team, and to whom? This situation happened to us this past weekend.
Tie game, 4th inning, one out, runner on 1. Batter shows bunt, corners come in, batter drops one down the left side, 2B covers first, SS goes to 2nd. 3B fields bunt and makes throw to 2B covering 1st. Batter was called safe in a close play. Baserunner rounds 2nd, and goes for 3rd. 2B immediately throws to 3rd to get lead runner; 3B and SS were both moving, but not going to 3 specifically to cover the throw. Throw was not a wild overthrow, but hits fence, recovered by LF, but only after baserunner has scored, and now batter is at 2, still with one out.
