Wade,
You asked "why are you holding for a runner scoring from 3rd on a ball hit to the outfield? ..." Here's why.

As you move up in skill levels of players, the details become much more important. FU was in the holding zone because a run was likely to score - that was the proper place to be. And then he hustles to wherever the next play may be. While NAIA is not usually considered skilled college ball, the player s are more skilled than most high school players. The details are critical and in FU's play, the run scoring was the most critical part of that. Having to work a 1-man in a college game is a really bad joke.
