Drives me crazy when I see the ball go back to pitcher, BR rounds 1st, heads to 2nd, and the defense does nothing. If you're at a low level or young level, throw the friggin ball to 2nd as she passes where 2B normally plays and get the easy out. You need outs more than that 1 run costs you at low levels.
At any decent level 12U or up, fielders should easily be able to throw from 2nd to home without much of a problem... some should even be good enough to get the easy out and STILL throw home in time.
Did a 14U tourney 2 weeks ago and saw this twice. Both teams were fully good enough to get an out on this play. Worse ... WAY worse ... one of them happened with 2 outs. GET AN OUT when the offense does something stupid.
