The Atlanta Braves end NLDS Game 2 for an amazing double play!
"I think the only reason I was in the position that I was because I was screaming one and just momentum just kept pulling me that way," Riley said. "And it ended up just being right spot at the right time."
Second baseman Ozzie Albies whiffed trying to scoop Harris' throw, but third baseman Austin Riley was standing between second base and the mound backing up Albies. That wasn't by design.
Riley scooped the ball backhanded and threw it to first in one motion, like fielding a slow roller at third base. That ended the game, completing the first 8-5-3 double play in MLB postseason history and the first double play ever involving an outfielder to end a postseason game.
