Happened yesterday; two pretty good varsity teams; couple coaches that have been around.
R1 on 2B, R1 on 1B, less than 2 out; soft blooper down 3B line, probably doesn't get 10' - 12' high, routine catch for F5. For some unknown reason R1 is way off the base and is an easy out.
O Coach is arguing for an IFR; we argue for the lack of height. Finally I say "It doesn't matter Coach, your B-R is out either way. And your runner made a mistake and got herself caught off base on a fly ball."
"Yeah, but . . . . . . . . oh! The lights came on, and he walked away, shaking his head.
