用法筆記
Third base can refer either to the physical base itself (a bag) or to the defensive position of the fielder who stands near it. Context tells you which meaning is intended: running and sliding suggest the base itself; fielding, throwing, and positional phrases (e.g., 'playing third base') suggest the defensive role.
