You got the first part right - fly out to center. Bases were loaded, batter flew out to center, center was on the run and unleashed a bullet to the plate. Runners on second and third both tagged up; runner from third sees the throw and realizes he's dead meat. He turns around AND GOES BACK TO THIRD, where the runner from second is already standing. With both guys standing on the bag, the catcher tags them both. The umpire signals out - two men can't be on the bag at the same time, therefore, the runner not entitled to the base - the guy from second - is out. The runner from third, who is safe, thinks HE'S the one who's out, and steps off the bag. Catcher tags him again. Out number three. If you weren't a Rock Cats fan, it was hilarious.
I used to go to 100 games a year, so I've seen three triple plays, one hit-for-cycle, two perfect games and I've lost count of the no-hitters, probably 8 or 9, depending on how you count them. Once I showed up in the sixth inning for game 1 of doubleheader and caught the end of a no-no; another time I was so stuck in traffic trying to go to Hagerstown, I gave up and went home. The Suns were no-hit that night. I also watched a guy throw a nine inning no-no and give up a hit in the tenth inning. Ouch. One perfect game was in low-A, one no-hitter in high-A, and everything else at AA.
