Agree.
You should also be a student of the game and realize that with R1 at second and a ball hit to F6, R1 has no business running to third (unless she's forced by an R2 at first), and if she does, then the likely play with less than two outs is going to be at third base. Don't overanticipate and expect the play to go to first.
