On the very next pitch he made an almost identical play and recorded another unassisted put out for the third out of the inning. In the final inning, third baseman Theo Pigis made the play of the game for Turano Contracting by ranging back and making a spectacular over the shoulder catch and doubling up the runner at first to end the inning and keep Turano in the game.
