Situation: 12U, no outs, their fastest player is on 2nd (2.8 speed or better?) with bunter at bat
Our 3 baseman is covering up for the bunt, On fake bunt, person on 2nd takes off for 3B steal
Excellent catcher and SS think they can make the play, having practiced in all season with girls who run a little slower.
Catcher throws a bullet to SS, who is now about 10 ft from third with a lot of momentum carrying her to 3rd, and on the "blind side" of the runner.
Question: how should SS situate herself relative to the 3B bag to make the tag, but avoid a collision?
