After a shaky defensive bottom of the ninth inning at Citi Field, in which he makes an error and another poor play allowing a batter to reach on an infield hit, Eric Bruntlett redeems himself when he turns the Mets’ attempted double steal into a game-ending unassisted triple play. The fourteenth single-handed regular-season triple killing, only the second one which results in the last three outs of a game, occurs when the Phillies’ second baseman snares Jeff Francoeur’s line drive up the middle for the first out, steps on second to double up Luis Castillo, and then tags the runner coming from first base, Daniel Murphy, for the last out of Philadelphia’s 9-7 victory.

Down 6 – 5 in the 9th, the US rallies to beat Cuba in the 2009 World Youth Championship. The US ties Cuba at four Gold Medals, the most in the history of the World Youth Championship to this point. LF Austin Cousino is named MVP.

Michael Cuddyer hits two home runs in the same inning, becoming the first member of the Minnesota Twins and the 53rd Major League player to do so. The Twins defeat Kansas City, 10 – 3.

2B Eric Bruntlett snags a line drive from Jeff Francoeur and turns an unassisted triple play in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Philadelphia Phillies’ 9 – 7 win over the New York Mets at Citi Field. It is only the second game ever to end on such a defensive gem, after Johnny Neun pulled off the feat on May 31, 1927.
