Wacky Plays Part I

[TussAgee11]

Being a young buck, I haven't had anything to wacky, but I'd say the wierdest one was the Triple Play I had.

Sacs full, 0 outs (obviously). Line drive to third, very close catch/no catch. I'm PU, I come up screaming "NO CATCH" with the mechanic. Fielder obviously felt the same way, cause he ran and touched 3rd, then tagged R3 who was confused and was just standing flatfooted off the base. We have 2 outs.

I call time to walk back to the dish and clean it off, and realize we have a bit of a problem. I wasn't sure of it, so I called BU in.

The batter never ran to first. The guy standing on second had been retired already. R1 never moved either. Batter was standing in the dugout. After we asked the book what number just batted (without telling them why, didn't want to divulge what we were discussing), I banged the Batter out for abandonment. Coach was confused, I explained twice while BU kept other coaches away. Once he understood, the coach simply smiled and walked back to his dugout and told the kids to take the field.
