I had to post this story about my son's game tonight. Those of you baseball freaks here will enjoy this, I think...a variation of the old hidden ball trick.
Other team has a runner on second, two out. Our coach calls out to our pitcher to start throwing heat (apparently the signal for this play).
Pitcher fakes a throw to second, the second baseman dives at the bag. Dirt kicking up everywhere. The shortstop dives at the dirt about 5 feet behind second, more dirt kicking up and the centerfielder running hard in towards second. So of course the runner starts running to third, looking over his shoulder to center to see the play. Meantime all the kids are yelling "GET THE BALL", even the coach was yelling it. So as the runner slows up about 10 feet from third, our pitcher (who waited til the runner's head was turned to center) sprints at the baserunner and tags him out. It was beautiful. The middle infielders sold it like champs.
It even fooled the other coach lol, and he didn't seem too amused by it judging by the words he was muttering as he left the first base coach's box. Little league rocks.
