Saw this happen and my team (13U) misplayed it. What would you do?
Game tied. one out.Bases loaded. Pitcher sees he can pickoff runner at first and makes throw. 1st base runner knows he has been caught leaning and immediately starts to second to try and get in a run down. 1st baseman is not close enough to tag him or run him down. How do you tell your kids to play it?
I think I know what they should do in the future but a person whom I respect would play it different so I would appreciate any thoughts you guys have .Thanks
