Triple Play yesterday

Just thought I would share this because it's the first triple play that I can remember in a game I was calling and it was kind of weird as well.

HS varsity, no outs (obviously), R1 on third, R2 on first, B3 hits a line shot up the middle.
The ball deflects off of the pitcher's arm up in the air and is caught by F4.
Both runners had taken a lead when the pitch was released and were running on contact of the ball. F4 throws to F3 for the appeal on R2, F3 throws across the diamond to F5 for the appeal on R1. R1 had already crossed the plate and had no clue what happened.

As the third base coach was walking back to his dugout, he tells me, "That's the second Triple Play we have had against us this year."
