OK...here's how it all ended...The home team was instructed to place runner from 2B on 3B...no run scores (Score is visitors 9, home 8). BR is now on 1B due to "dropped third strike". New batter at the plate.
First pitch is a strike. Runner from first goes, tempting a throw from Catcher. Catcher pops up and THROWS (ahhhhh noooo!!!) a high throw to the PITCHER!! (Haha...the catcher is my son BTW...). The runner from third is sent, pitcher fires to home, tag, he's out, game over! We won.
Coach asked the catcher (that's my boy) if it was planned. He grins from ear to ear and says "uh huh". (He never has been much of a communicator.)
Even though they didn't make TOC this year, as parents we are proud.
