Subject: Sandy's throw to the first base. Within this subject, you have an adjective Sandy's, and the central subject, throw. To the first base is the prepositional phrase because it begins with a preposition word TO.
Verb: was short. Here, you have the predicate word WAS (which is a linking verb connecting the subject and the complement) and the subject complement SHORT (which is actually adjective predicate).
