One thing not to forget while we are talking about trailing the BR and then breaking to 3rd, which of course is correct......but lets not forget the PU's first responsibility in this play....fair or foul!! Maybe I am envisioning this incorrectly but when I read the OP it seems to me like this started out in foul territory with back spin and was coming to fair territory, I am envisioning a ball right on the line that F3 picks up and swipe tags BR then fires to 3rd for a play on R1.
If I see this correctly this makes things a little bit harder....PU has to hang at that line till the ball is touched to rule fair/foul....then help on swipe tag if possible (as stated if past running lane it's BU's call, PU just offers help if needed) then you have to get as far as possible to see play at 3rd.
