Of course you are supposed to try and score but one listened to the 3rd base coach so you don't run yourself out an inning. However, I remember lots of 3rd base coaches holding the runner because most left fielders were being able to throw the runner out, now it isn't even close. This outfielder had a short left field (meaning it wasn't a long single but a short one) and he didn't have the arm to even come close.
