    should runner peak

    When stealing a base should the runner peak to see what catcher/ball is doing? On a hit n run should the run peak to see where/if the ball was hit? Any other situations when a runner should look for the ball?

    receiving a throw at 1b

    Bunt down 1st base line. 1st baseman charges and fields the ball throws to 1b. 2nd baseman is covering 1b. Which foot should rh 2nd baseman have on the bag. In 10u we would have her keep left foot on bag stand square to the fielder throwing the ball.
