Two Bits, I think what you are referring to requured a runner on 3rd at the time. I saw this on the NFHS web site a few years ago and couldn't understand the validity of the rule. The runner has no way of knowing if a play is being made on her. You would think, just like umpires, the 3rd base would have higher priority than 1st. But, then, I just enforce the rules, I don't make them.
