Tough grounder in the gap. F6 makes a dramatic grab and an off balance throw. "Tie" at first - OUT.

I wouldn't call it something I think about (no time for that) - just a tendancy I've noticed.
I have always favored Joel's theory on this. Which player
made the play close (tie). Who had the best effort. The
defensive player, or the offensive player. (example - F6
goes deep in the hole, dives, catches ground shot, and while
on her knees, fires a bullet to F3, which is a 'banger', that
blue could call either way and get away with. I will always have
an out in this situation. Effort out.
