Sadly, it is the highlight of our season...

“Every runner thought it was a line drive,” Profar said, “so that's why we got the triple play.”

Not sure why the 2nd baseman tagged the runner going to 2nd. He already forced out the runner from 1st.
- 3rd baseman catches the hard hit grounder and tags 3rd for force out- out 1
- 3rd baseman tags the runner who was off 3rd base- out 2
- 3rd baseman throws to 2nd for a force out, out 3.
No need to then tag the runner that was already forced out at 2nd base.
