Smart thinking and sharp play by those girls.

Years ago, the F5 on my daughter's 8U team made an unassisted triple play.

Did she get a college scholarship offer immediately following the game?

No, though she did go to the finest preschools! She was a pretty sharp, athletic kid, but she also had a LOT of luck on the play. Bases loaded, batter hits a pop fly and all the runners go. F5 catches the fly ball about a foot from her base on the 2B side of 3B, steps with her right foot on the bag, and turns to her left and tags the unaware runner barreling into third from 2B. It was a city parks-and-rec summer team and I never saw the kid again after that. She'd be a HS sophomore or junior now.

I don't know what the big deal is. During my first career, for nine years, EVERY Thursday was triple play Thursday.

That must be where the lotto offered three plays for the price of one.

Hey, I did that once and it was even tougher. I did not meet the 8U qualifications, so it was pretty special
