A very rare 7-2-6 Triple Play

The confidence on all of these throws is amazing. Still, the throw from left field to home is impeccable when adding in the fact the pitcher nearly interrupted the bounce to the plate.

According to MLB.com, a 7-2-6 triple play has only occurred once in league history. That was back in 1923 when the Philadelphia Phillies pulled one off against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It’s always fun to see athletes get pumped up after a big play and nothing exemplifies that more than college games. Watching the Wildcats pour out of their dugout and celebrate with their teammates after the inning ended is sports at its best.

Turning a once-in-a-century type triple play against your biggest rival is something players and fans alike won’t soon forget. And even if you don’t like either team, you can still enjoy the absurdness that is Kentucky perfectly executing every part of this sequence.

Good play, but poor base running decision by the runner on second base though. He either should of stayed at second since he was already in scoring position or got a better jump off the throw from the left fielder. If the cut-off man decided to cut off the throw and throw him out instead, it still would have been okay. The runner at the plate would have scored and there would have only been two outs. That lack of a slide at third on his part didn't help matters either.
