The hot weather made its way to the DNews bats on Monday night to the tune of eight first-inning runs en route to a 14-9 victory. But the real highlight of the night belongs to the tandem of Cliff Schmidt, James Edward and Linda Hamilton who turned a rally-killing triple play in the second inning. A soft liner to Cliff, who tossed it to James at second, who then fired to Linda at first to triple off the runner who was now standing at second base — having motored there seemingly unaware of what had just happened — completed the rare feat.
The win improved the News' record to 2-2 heading to the Memorial Day holiday and off week next Monday. Play resumes on June 1 at 7:30 p.m.
Update: The Elias Sports Bureau reports that that the triple play in the second inning of Monday night's game between the Deseret News and FHE was in fact a first for the News — at least to be blogged about.
