This way, the 3U can make the call while having the ball coming toward him and the 1U can stay put and have all action in front of him since the NCAA is now emphasizing staying outside whenever posssible.

ok..you lost me a little....... WHY did 1U make this call in left with the fielder going away from him? It seems like its 3U's ball... or am I reading it wrong?.....

I will probably call her tomorrow and get the reasoning.....
