Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia scored from first base on an infield single in Monday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. It was made possible by both stellar baserunning and less-than-stellar defense from Baltimore.

In the third inning, Brewers pitcher Brent Suter showed bunt and pulled back to swing away with a chopper to short. Suter beat the throw in a close play, and as this happened, Arcia took off for third. Then, the craziness really went down.

Trey Mancini’s throw to third was wide but on target enough for Manny Machado to make the catch. Arcia, though, slid past the bag and rather than try to make it back to third, he took off for home. Because, why not? Machado had him out if he would have attempted to return to third.

Somewhere in the middle of this, Brewers third base coach Ed Sedar got in Machado’s way and dodged the Orioles third baseman as Arcia was stuck in the rundown.

Arcia made a move as Machado threw home, but there was some confusion between shortstop Ruben Tejada and catcher Welington Castillo about who was supposed to cover home during this play that Little League teams execute to perfection on a regular basis.

That confusion drew a wide throw from Machado, allowing Arcia to slide home safely.

We’re not going to take anything away from Arcia here. His ultra-aggressive baserunning made this fun play possible and put pressure on the Orioles to complete a simple play. That gamble paid off clearly.

The Brewers went on to win, 8-1.
