Base stealers taking more than 1 base

[hbk3133_PSN]

Any idea how to stop your base runners from randomly stealing more than one base at a time? I’ve had my runner on 1st going to 3rd when I only want him to go to 2nd. Same thing when my runner is on 2nd and decides to go home.

I hit L2 and hold L1 to time up the pitchers release but then nothing. I will try to influence sliding away from the tag.

This doesn’t happen all of the time but enough that it’s annoying and costs me games. Only happens in online play too.
