Phils win 9-7......bottom of the ninth, Phils up by 2, Mets batting, nobody out, runners at first and second and the Amazin Mets decide to try a double steal...........resulting in the rarest play in baseball, a game ending unassisted triple play.
Line drive to Bruntlett at second, steps on the bag for 2nd out and tags runner coming into 2nd for out # 3.
Someone should tell the Mets that stealing in that situation is not a high percentage move :grin:
I think they were going for the hit and run instead of the double steal, but either way it was a cool play. We were watching. Thought Lidge was going to melt down again, but to be fair a couple of errors played in there.
