triple Play Stitch
In one of my games Sunday, had a very unusual triple play.
No outs, R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd, B3 hits a fly ball to CF, caught. Meanwhile both runners took off prior to the touch of the ball/glove. Everyone in the park was aware of it. CF fires the ball to 3B, who happens to be standing on the bag, with R2 advancing from 2B, and R1 about 1/4 of the way toward HP. An obvious appeal was made at 2B, which was properly executed. As I glanced back towards HP, R1 did not touch HP, cutting short and going to the dugout. No obvious appeal at 3rd, and I as PU, made no call. I did not know if they were attempting to get the advancing runner from 2nd or what. However, the entire offensive team left the field and entered the dugout, thus causing the third out. There would not have been a 3rd out had not the team entered the dugout, because no appeal was made on the runner at third. Had she retreated back to 3rd, or advanced to HP, she would have been safe. Offensive team made no argument whatever, either way.
