I saw that play

Cozart called off Menchacha but he somehow lost it. Im not sure if it was the sun or if he just took his eye off the ball.

He left Menchaca in no man's land on the play

Well, I think it's pretty obvious that they stopped playing by the rules of baseball and started playing kickball rules, whereas you can throw the ball wherever the hell you want and you'll probably force an out somewhere for no good reason.

Hence, the triple play.

Here's a better description:

Missoula turned a triple play in the top of the first inning to thwart what could have been a huge inning for the Mustangs. With the bases still loaded and none out and a run already in, Tony Brown hit a fly ball to left field that was dropped by Missoula's Bobby Stone. Stone was able to pick up the ball and throw to third base to force out Carlos Mendez and Missoula third baseman Kyle Greene fired to second base to force Konstanty for the second out. Meanwhile, Brown tried to advance from first to second and was tagged out by for the final out.

shortstop can't call off the OFer. The OFer can call off the shortstop

Part of the play right there.

The play also won a fan $10,000.

There was also a protest at the stadium.

Sounds like an interesting night at the ballpark.
