Just for fun...
Since you brought it up...
Here is a play that usually works once...then they either stop advancing or prepare another way to do it.
On a walk, have the shortstop come in about 1/3 the way from his normal position to the mound. Then, when the Batter/runner starts toward 2nd, have your catcher throw the ball to the SS as if he were making the play to 2nd. Most likely, the runner from 3rd will be well off the base and is now caught off-guard. Your shortstop then makes the throw to whichever base he is heading to (either back to 3rd or home). You'll either get him or get him in a run-down (which your team has practiced to perfection, right?).
Good luck, but most of all, just have fun!
