H Ken.
Here is what I would do.
You have to test the catcher's arm and hope for a bad throw or bad catch, however, they practice that ALOT and are probably good at it.
On the other hand, the other option is to test the pitchers overhand throw to home. Seldom does a team practice that and in many cases, the pitcher's overhand throw is lousy at best.
Runner on third only comes off one step. Catcher may or may not look at her and then throws the ball back to the pitcher. THE INSTANT the catcher lets go of the ball, runner on third sprints hard for home and slides.
Chances are that the pitcher is going to make a lousy hurried throw to the catcher and the runner is safe. Runner on first has advanced to second and, if that throw from the pitcher was REALLY lousy, she is now on third and in position to be the winning run.
Steal home. No team does this enough and it is seldom expected.
I think you have a better chance there than risking a throw down from the catcher to second base.
We stole home at every opportunity.
But, then again, we refused to lose!
