Hi Alan,

Tha announcers on Fox, stated that the Belle and any other player should 
actually try to spin the infielder around knocking him down in order to stop 
him from throwing to first and hopefully at the same time knocking the ball 
loose from the infielder, that way, nobody is put out and to runners are on 
the bases.
