Two nights in a row where ive seen something that ive never seen before in my life. BOSTON (AP) -- Boston's Scott Hatteberg performed the ultimate baseball opposite. Hatteberg hit a grand slam one at-bat after lining into a triple play Monday night, powering the Red Sox to a 10-7 win over the Texas Rangers and a four-game sweep. Hatteberg lined into a triple play in the fourth inning and in the sixth he hit his second career grand slam to move Boston ahead for good. ``That's from the outhouse to the penthouse right there,'' Hatteberg said. ``I was trying to get the ball in the air, trying to stay out of the double play. It was a great feeling going around the bases.'' The Red Sox moved within 2 1/2 games of AL East-leading New York with their first four-game sweep of Texas since July 10-13, 1975. Boston also improved its wild card lead to two games over Cleveland. ``A good comeback win,'' Red Sox manager Jimy Williams said. ``We hit the ball hard. Certainly Hatteberg's hit was big.'' The Rangers turned their third triple play in club history in the fourth inning when Hatteberg lined to shortstop with the runners on first and second moving on the pitch. Alex Rodriguez flipped to second baseman Randy Velarde, who forced the first runner and tagged the second. The Red Sox then rallied from a 7-5 deficit in the sixth. Carl Everett reached on an infield hit that knocked out starter Rob Bell. Troy O'Leary singled off reliever Juan Moreno (2-2) and Brian Daubach walked to load the bases. After Chris Stynes' single made it a one-run game, Hatteberg hit a 2-1 pitch into the Red Sox bullpen. ``How many times you see a guy hit into a triple play and a grand slam in the same game?'' Rangers manager Jerry Narron said. ``It's probably never happened before.'' | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Eh, When I saw the title I thought someone had hit a Grand Slam and made an unassisted triple play in the same game. Now THAT would be something! This message was edited by The Sleeper on 8-7-01 @ 12:21 AM | ||||
