This chart also suggests that if a team has runners 1st/3rd, and 0 outs, and then puts the runner at 1st in jeopardy as a way of getting the run home, then the smart play by the defense is to take the out at second and let the runner score (unless it's the winning run). Run expectancy goes from about 2.3 to 1.3 if you take the out. Especially in travel ball, where runs are a little more frequent than in NCAA. If somebody gives you the 1st out of an inning to move a runner, even to score a runner, you should take it in most cases.
