Then you could have R1 on 3rd, and R5 on 1st, with B6 grounding to F4.
Isn't it simpler to say "R1, and R3, 2out, ground ball to F4."
Same play, Less words, Less confusion on whos on first. There isn't really any concern about who made the outs.
Not an arguement,Just a point. Kind of like stopping the wind, I guess. I'll keep translating it in my mind so I can see the play, and when I'm in softball-land (or Fedland) try to speek as the Greeks, er Romans, do!
