2025 marks PressBox’s ninth annual Best Of edition celebrating the top people, performances and moments of the year.
Best Triple Play
UMBC softball was already down, 1-0, to Binghamton in the America East tournament in May when the Bearcats had the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the fourth.
The Retrievers needed to find the escape hatch … and they did.
Binghamton third baseman Sarah Rende hit a line drive that initially appeared bound for right field, but UMBC second baseman Mikayla Bryant snared it and alertly started a 4-6-3 triple play with the runners at first and second having wandered too far off.
That’s one way to get out of a jam.
