Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼“Return to base” is an entry from the sports world today. When you’re playing baseball, after you get yourself on base, it behooves you to get a bit of a head start on each of the next at-bats, which your teammates will hopefully use to move you through and eventually back to home for a run scored. You can risk standing off “the bag,” but you must watch out for a fast pitcher catching you off base, and you also have to TAG UP when your teammate hits a fly ball to the outfield that gets caught. You can do this, touch your original base and sprint to the next one, in the hopes that the caught ball doesn’t beat you there.
