#240---BAL @ CLE, 9/1/2000



The Indians beat the Orioles 5-2, but the highlight of this game is the second inning triple play turned by Baltimore. Travis Fryman and Wil Cordero both singled and were on second and first respectively as Sandy Alomar came to the plate against Sidney Ponson. Alomar hit a groundball to Melvin Mora, and from there I’m not exactly sure what happened. My note says that Cleveland skipper Charlie Manuel was ejected for arguing. Apparently Fryman was ruled out for leaving the baseline, but the Indians contended (and I, still pretty loyal, must have agreed) that second base was touched first, eliminating the force on Fryman. In any event, it went in the (my) book as a TP643.
