This was an awesome moment. 3-1 count runner on second 1 out. Runner on second trys to steal 3rd, ball 4. thirdbase is up (the batter showed bunt) shortstop is breaking toward 3rd to cover. catcher makes throw to shortstop right before thirdbase. throw is low and it sounds like the ball hits plastic (maybe the runners helmet). the shortstop collapses on the runner and somehow comes up with the ball in her glove and the runner is called out at third. Meanwhile back at the ranch the secondbaseman broke toward first to cover on the bunt. The girl who walked on ball four hustled down to first, the first base coach seeing nobody was covering second sent his runner to second. The shortstop (now laying at third base) sees the batter runner round first and head to second, the shortstop gets up and looks to throw to second, she notices nobody is covering second. She immediately breaks from being on the ground at third (after an unbelievable play) toward second base. It is a foot race, the batter runner, and the shortstop both dive toward second base. The shortstop tags the runner inches infront of second base. Unbelievable Play. The shortstop gets up and runs to her firstbase dugout because it is 3 outs. The first base coach of the batting team (has his hands on his head, he can not believe what he just saw) initially hold his hand up to give the shortstop a high five or fist bump as she is leaving the field, but as the shortstop comes closer he, not knowing how to react, just hugs her, (basically saying unbelievable play)! Two great teams playing the kind of game we all love to watch. Great moment!
