Last night DD's HS team played their arch rival in conference. For the past 10+ years these 2 teams have butted heads for the conference title and have ALWAYS had very very close games.
In the top of the 6th the rival had gotten the bases loaded with 0 outs; batter hits a HARD line drive to deep center field that looks to be over the head of center fielder;
* Center fielder makes a leaping catch - 1 out
* Center fielder to short stop at 2nd base to catch runner off base - 2 out
* Short stop sees that there is no time to get runner on first, but runner on 3 is trying to get back so she makes the throw to third, not in time... Runner on 1st thought there were 3 outs and is walking across the field so third baseman tags her in the pitching circle - 3 out
It wasn't pretty but a triple play none the less!
In case you wonder, bottom of 6 DD's team scores and holds them in top of 7 for the victory!
