How to turn a grounder into a double play in baseball
In a bases loaded situation with a ball through the pitcher’s legs to the second baseman, the second baseman should throw to the shortstop for a double play. The runner from third is too fast to nail at the plate, and timing and a perfect throw are risky. The shortstop covers second, completing the double to first. The margin for error in throwing must be considered. Also noted is a rainout where the Oglethorpe vs South Carolina game was postponed due to wet grounds with Saturday’s game still on if weather permits.
