Actually could also be a triple play, fly ball to shortstop, runner off second with ball to second then runner off first with ball thrown to 1st baseman. Also ground ball tag by short, throw to second baseman for second out then to first baseman for third out. Numbers of postions used in scoring in official score book. k is strike out.
