Twice tonight in a 2-1 game had plays at the plate by
hometeam. Their catcher is lefthanded. Both situations
same. R1 on 3rd, 1out, batter hits to F1, holds runner,
fires to F3 for the out at 1B. F3 throws a perfect shot
to F2, (remember she is lefthanded) who catches ball and
spins toward backstop side of home. Runner's sliding
feet have crossed plate on both plays. Had she caught
ball and turned to her left, two easy outs, one maybe a
sell out. Coach wants to know why they were safe. He
said ball beat the runner. Yea coach, but tag did not.
