R1, no outs, runner going on the pitch with a huge running jump on F1. B shoots one in the F3/F4 gap. R1 never slowed down at 2B…long run for F9 to get the ball and PU anticipates R1 scoring attempt. Where does PU go?

"I'm at third if he comes", the PU yells as he heads for the library. Remembering that a play requires both a ball and a runner, he watches for the throw and the runner. If a play seems certain, "I'm at third, I'm at third" as he head for the cutout.
If the throw gets past F5, and the runner tries for home, the PU busts for home in FAIR territory.
Simple.
