Use rule book terms.

Feinted to first.

Start and stop.

No step.

Stepped home (when threw to first).

Good point Bob, I agree, in my example got a little carried away.

Thanks for a clarification, but totally agree, using words that are in the rule book or terms such as are such an advantage in any conversation whether it is a balk or any other play etc.,

Thanks
