Turning 2 on that play would have been damn difficult...even with Beloso running.


Beloso is still in the batters box when the 3B catches the ball

He was playing even with the bag and it was a 1-hopper

Yeah, he isn't going to second on that play, IMO. He's likely too focused on the runner at third, the ball is pulling him towards third and I don't see him whipping around to risk a throw to second after checking the runner at third.

Lester, I just watched the replay. Merrifield is sliding into 2nd before the ball even hits the ground on the short hop on the throw home.

It's just bad luck.... Beloso bats left and the SS is shifted to almost over 2nd base and the 3rd baseman is basically playing on the line. How many times will Beloso slap a ball down the 3rd base line. If he hits the ball like his tendencies towards 1st and 2nd, the runner scores with no problem. Sometime you just have to have luck to win a game and Wake Forest had some luck or Nostradamus coaching. You just have to tip your cap to a good play.

You are a fool if you think turning 2 ever entered that 3rd baseman's mind.
