Ozzy is absolutely right. From your description of the play you became a stationary official and therefore got blocked out. You have to anticipate what is going to happen and get in position for it. In the C position. I always head 2-3 steps towards HP while following the ball to the bag, open up to the right and have a excellent view of 3b. Pretty close to what Oz is telling you.
This is the part of officiating that is similar to playing the game. When I coached I would always tell the players that on every play you have to be thinking what your going to do for different scenarios. Its the same way when officiating. Read and react. There are only three things that should not move on a baseball diamond when a ball is hit. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
