That was a tough call

I did not see the play so I don't know what angle U1 had but I agree with SDS - distance away from the play is key. Because of the lack of sound, you're best bet is to swing all the away around into the baseline between first and second and get a "track meet" finish line angle of the play. If U1 wasn't set for the play, I would assume he attempted to get to this angle but just didn't get there fast enough.
