Such a situation comes with runners on first and second and it becomes the duty of the batsman to attempt to move both runners up a base through the medium of a sacrifice, in other words a bunt.

It becomes the of the third sacker to cover a sack, in case is a chance for a force at that base. The short stop moves over to take care of any play at second, while the second baseman rushes over to cover first. It becomes the of the pitcher to handle all bunts down the third base way, while the first sucker takes care of all in His direction.
