Lenny Pelletier (Ludlow Lions) is the batter with runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs. The suicide squeeze is on and the batter pops up a bunt attempt about 2-3 feet in the air. The catcher, Brian Rheault, makes a quick catch (OUT 1)
The runner at 3rd, nnnnnnn, who broke for home on the pitch is tagged by the catcher (OUT 2)
Because the Agawam 3B had charged in on the bunt attempt he was not in position to cover the hot corner. The runner at 2nd, nnnnnn, tried to advance on the bunt and was caught just off 3rd by the catcher who had run out to tag him (OUT 3)
Notes
ONLY known Unassisted Triple Play by a Catcher at any level of play.
