I had a play at the plate in a rundown Friday night. R3 came off the bag a little too far and F2 threw down to 3rd. Realizing he was out if he returned he broke for home. F1 ended up set up about 1' - 2' into the infield side of home & about 1' up the line and and F2 was sort of a spectator in foul territory, almost mirroring F1. The throw from F5 came to F1. R3 attempted to get to home by coming into foul territory but was forced even wider by F2. Needless to say he couldn't reach the plate and was tagged out. If you can picture it R3 had about a 3' "slot" in between F1 & F2 to reach the plate. He chose to go around F2. I've got a feeling I blew it, because if F2 wasn't there a nice slide in foul ground with his left hand outstretched would have caught the plate. Comments?
