Could this be the biggest Bush play ever?

The other one I used to see at 14U was the "Go back!!!!" play. Runners at 2nd and 3rd, after the pitch runner at 2b heads for 3B, coach at 3B starts yelling go back! GO BACK!!!

Hoping to cause confusion and create a rundown to score runner from 3. Key to defending this one is to reverse your normal hotbox attack and trap runner between SS and 3B. If you throw to push the runner back to 2B that is what they want, the ball as far from home as possible. Pushing the runner towards 3B can cause confusion the other way and you can end up getting two outs.

I was watching a Laser team on defense (Glen's I think) at GAPSS. The opposing team had a runner on third. A walked batter casually rounded first and continued to second. The pitcher just flipped the ball to the second baseman who was waiting for the runner and easily tagged her out. The catcher was prepared to receive a throw from second should the runner on third break for home. No way she would have made it! Excellent execution on Laser's part, and not a smart move on offense. This play may work at 12u, but NEVER try this against a seasoned team!
