Tactics

The files concerning hits into the outfield also deal with a runner on third.
Though this runner will nearly always score and is therefore not explicitly mentioned in the filenames.
They deal with grounders/groundballs only where the runner is guaranteed to advance one base. Flyballs require different tactics.

Hit in Left Field, no runners.
