This situation actually comes up anytime you have a runner on third in a two umpire system.

Two theories:

1. Back away from the plate looking down the 1B extended with the runner in your periphial vision. See fair/foul, then the touch of the ball by the fielder, watch the tag up out of your periphial. Fair/foul and catch/no catch are your first priorities, then the tag up.

2. Pre-game with your BU to take the tag up of the runner on third on a ball down the right field line. Not the best option as the BU may have other runner responsibilities, but I have used it sucessfully in the past. I would only recommend doing this with an experienced partner that you are comfortable with.
