Odd Triple Play

[TwoBits]

Just have to share this one from recent FED game:

Bases loaded, no outs (obviously, hence the thread title), batting team is up 15 in the third inning at this point. Strike 'em out (out #1), but ball is in the dirt. Batter takes off for first, as do all the other runners in an obvious team brain-fart. Third base coach screams at R3 to get back. Snap throw by the catcher gets R3 in a pickle. F5 throws to F2, then to F6 covering third. R2, still running gets tagged by F6 (out #2), throws to F1 covering home, then back to F5 who out runs R3 toward the plate to make the tag (out #3). WOW!

Wish someone had video'd that one, be nice to see it all go down.

Didn't have a double play but my 6th-4th grade team (in a 6th grade league) finally pulled of a run down 1-3-4-3-6 just like how you draw it up.

We also had two put outs at home on great plays.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Saw something a lot like that in a 9-10 game last night. R2 R3, no one out, two strikes on the batter, LL rules (no uncaught third strike rule). Batter swings at a pitch in the dirt and the ball scoots to the backstop.

R3 took off for home, R2 breaks for third. When the catcher comes up with the ball and tosses it to the pitcher covering home, R3 turned tail back to third. R2 doesn't stop and continues to third, so we end up with two runners on third. F1 throws to F5. R3 decides to head home again and is tagged as he steps off the bag. At the same time, R2 decides that two people can't be on the bag at a time so he heads back to second. F5 throws to F4 and gets R2 in a rundown, eventually tagging him out.

Offensive coach comes unglued and complains that the umpire should have stopped play the moment his runners became confused. The umpire sends him back to the dugout and the outs stand.

Not a bad call by the 13 year old umpire.
