Colorado Rockies Triple-A Affiliate Goes Viral for Incredibly Wild Scoring Play

As the saying goes, you had to see it to believe it.

The Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, entered the home half of the sixth inning trailing the El Paso Chihuahuas (San Diego Padres) 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Yanquiel Fernandez grounded out to lead off the inning off pitcher Omar Cruz, who was beginning his second inning of relief. Warming Bernabel followed with a walk, and Sterlin Thompson was called out on strikes.

A throwing error by third baseman Nate Mondou put Austin Nola on second and Bernabel on third. Aaron Schunk walked to load the bases.

Jordan Beck then walked to score Bernabel and tie the score at 2. And that’s where things got really interesting.

Ryan Ritter walked to score Nola. But Schunk, seeing no urgency on the part of the Chihuahuas, stole home. Beck took off for third, and a throwing error by Cruz trying to throw him out wound up in left field, scoring Beck.

Here's the play, as it happened.
