As PU, there is a play at third for which you are responsible and just as the ball arrives at third, the runner from 3rd scores. What's your priority? (That is you don't have time to see the play and the touch, which do get a weaker look at.)

Thoughts?
If there is a runner from 3rd, headed home, that is the priority. How do you know the play won't be there? Lead runners come first.
