Johnny Damon was on third and Bill Mueller was on second. Manny Ramirez was on first. David Ortiz hit a high chopper between the plate and the mound. The Orioles hurler Eric DuBose came charging in. He caught the ball and kept on running. He touched home plate for a force-out to end the inning. Yes, a “1U”; that would be “Pitcher Unassisted” force-out in my scorebook. A first!
