I was impressed
This weekend, runner on 3rd tries for home on a passed ball. Catcher gets ball, runs her back, throws to F5 and rundown continues for three full cycles of runner going back and forth. Four fielders swapping places just like in the book and all obviously avoiding OBS after each throw. Finally F5 is close enough for tag from behind with bare hand but drops ball. F6 alertly picks up the ball, tags runner out, also bare hand from behind.
Same game, batter with two strikes drops a drag bunt a foot from 1st base line and makes it safely to 1st. Same batter later tries same thing with two strikes and ball goes foul, but stayed fair for about 40-45 feet.
Oh BTW, these were 10&U.
