First Baseman Tags Out Two For Solo Double Play ... At Third Base

With runners at first and third and no outs in today's spring training game against the Braves, Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong hit a little blooper thing down the first base line. Braves first baseman Joey Terdoslavich spotted Yadier Molina hung up between third and home, so he sprinted across the diamond to initiate a rundown. Molina attempted to avoid the tag long enough to let Dean Anna—steaming around second—to advance to third. Instead, Terdoslavich tagged Molina out, and then dove towards the bag and nailed Anna too, for the solo double play at third base by the first baseman.
