I made the comment early last week when U2 dodged a ball hit to F9 and thrown to F5. Someone pointed out U3 knocking down runner past 3B. Had there been a play on that runner, he would have been caught off base for the out.

Also noticed yesterday that U2 and U3 were positioned deeper into the outfield than local LL clinicians teach. Far deeper than 2-man LL small diamond positions. Requires a full sprint into the playing area on a small diamond. Just a matter of time until one is hit by the ball (unlikely) or slips on wet turf (more likely).
