I once saw a high school softball best of 3 playoff series end on a hidden ball trick. Game 3, tie series, 1 run game with 2 out in the 9th and trailing team had a runner on third. Catcher fakes a throw down to pick her off (had a huge lead). Third baseman leaps, shortstop turns and runs down left field line so your eye would be fooled that she was blocking the ball, left fielder fake slips like she wasn't ready, and the catcher throwa her mask down like her life is over. Runner comes sprinting home right into the tag. Oscar worthy.

My daughter's softball team practices a similar play (identical to the one in the video) regularly. I've never seen them use it but they will be ready if they ever decide to pull it out of their bag of tricks.

I think in softball you can leave the base after the ball leaves the pitchers hand.

No one on base?
