The only problem - F2 throws it to third and my back was to the play. We get it drilled into our heads every year at the clinics - KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL. NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE BALL. There was no small amount of yelling at me from the stands and one coach was a bit miffed. I just blew it.
Conference tourney games are a blast though.
I'll take angle over distance for this play - and it's a common play. I move straight in - and then have a 90-degree look at both the play on 2B and/or the play at 3B. AND - well you already realized the thing with the ball
