The Baltimore Orioles turn the season’s fifth triple play and the first triple-killing in Jacobs Field history

On September 1, 2000 — The Baltimore Orioles turn the season’s fifth triple play and the first triple-killing in Jacobs Field history in the 2nd inning against the Cleveland Indians.

On a pop-up to short, the infield fly rule is not called. With runners at first and second and no outs‚ O’s SS Melvin Mora lets Sandy Alomar’s pop fly drop‚ apparently intentionally‚ and throws to 2B Jerry Hairston who tags the runner at second, Travis Fryman as well as the runner coming from first, Will Cordero. Alomar‚ believing the infield fly rule has been called‚ retreats to the dugout and is called out for leaving the basepath, resulting in a 6-4-3 triple play. Charlie Manuel doesn’t agree and gets tossed. Cleveland overcomes the triple play to win‚ 5 – 2‚ behind Chuck Finley.
