We had a play relevant to this question yesterday in a sectional game. R1, slow roller to F6, who fields the ball and throws it wild to F4 covering.
F4 comes off the base to catch the ball, and then with his free hand swings wildly around and somehow manages to touch the base. Partner checks for possession of the ball, then bangs the out. Good call!
O-coach comes to me (wrong) and asks if I can help my partner. I say no, it's his call. Coach doesn't like what he hears from partner, but it's a good call on an ugly play.
