Triple Play
Men’s league, I was PU.
R3, R1, No outs. B3 hits grounder that goes up the 3B side of the mound and is the right height off of the ground for F6 to field the ball and touch 2B in stride and then throws to F3 to get the second out. When F6 went to 1B, R3 started home, F3 turns and throws to F2 who tags R3. Inning over, if you like DPs, you’ll love triple plays. |

American Legion ball about eight years ago:
R2, R3 Batter swings at strike 3, ball hits the dirt but just under F2. The batter hesitated and was tagged for first out. R2 was off on what he must have thought was a ball that got away. F2 to F6 for out two. R3 then heads home with a piano on his back and is cut down by the throw. 2-6-2 triple play. I had to keep myself from laughing as I dusted off the plate for the start of the next half. 2-6-2...I can't imagine ever seeing that again. |

Mine was REALLY bizzare. I'm PU, Bases full, line drive to the right of F5 (towards the line) who is playing in front of the bag. I rule no catch, but everyone acted like it WAS a catch. He dove to tag a retreating R3, and ended up in a heap on top of 3rd base. My partner just didn't even make a call at first, just took the whole picture in. After confirming I had no-catch, he banged out R3 on the tag and R2 on the force.
As R3 and R2 headed to the bench, the only other runner was R1 who was standing on 2nd. The batter was nowhere to be found. Sure enough he was in the dugout like I ruled catch. So there is 3. I guess that goes unassisted, but I'm not sure. 3rd base coach about had a seizure. Had another, can't really remember the circumstances, but the 3rd out was a rundown between 2nd and 3rd. I remember splitting the half as U1 (3 man), the tag was made in the middle, and the old fart I was working with, member of this forum, tapped his chest as I was about to snag the call from him saying "no, no, I got this one, he's out". Greedy... I wanted that 3rd out! Last edited by TussAgee11; Mon Apr 04, 2011 at 09:58am. |
