Sometimes it doesn't but once again if he's playing in and they hit it by you be wondering why he's playing in.
I have acquiesced on playing in on the grass I agree he didn't need to be in at 3rd just 12 -15 feet closer to the line then he was. I disagree playing 25 feet away from 3rd essentially standing in the 6 hole which is where Chester was standing when the ball was hit. If the batter had hit it 6 feet inside the bag at third they wound have scored 2 runs and tied the game. It's all moot now because our guys can't hit for shit when the game is in the line. How many games has State won when trailing going into the 8th and 9th this year? 1 big 8th inning comeback. Florida is 16-11 and 8 of those have been won in their last at bat!
