1972 Tucson (Arizona) Daily Citizen 29 July 13/4 The schlepp he describes in the book has one heck of a time just making it to first base (necking) in the big game of scoring, never mind getting to second (fondling a bare bosom) and third (‘outside of the clothes first, and then inside’) and, finally, to home plate.

1989 N.Y. Times (Electronic ed.) 18 Oct. c2 Melissa told me she has gone to third base with a boy... But she hasn't gone to home plate.

1995 M. Garber Vice Versa i. i. 37 To ‘get to third base’ means ‘touching and toying with the genitals’, and to ‘get to home plate’ or to ‘score’ means ‘to do the sex act’.

2007 D. B. Frank Land of Mango Sunsets 99 When I was a girl, there was only Charles who made it to home plate, as the young people say.
