This Triple A Game Featured Two of the Weirdest Putouts You’ll Ever See

The visiting Salt Lake City Bees beat the Tacoma Rainiers 2–1 on a chilly, drizzly Sunday in Washington State. The official attendance was listed as 6,778, which would be more than the stadium’s listed capacity, although it appeared to be a sparse crowd. The fans, though, however many of them there were, were treated to some pretty spectacularly bizarre baseball.

First, in the seventh inning, the Bees’ David Fletcher attempted to take home on a first-and-third situation. Fletcher wasn’t tagged but he didn’t touch the plate either, so he had to come running back toward the plate and was finally tagged out by catcher Mike Marjama.
