That really was quite the final play.
Some curious bits:
- The live stats described the back end of the play as "Mahler, R. advanced to third, scored on a throwing error by 2b, unearned" but then under Scorer's Decision listed it as E5.
The box score/play by play confirms it was recorded as E4, which I think is the standard call as the ball bounced. But it looked to me as if 3B made the bigger muff.
- Pretty sure if the 3B had caught the throw, Mahler would have been out. Still, it's hard enough to score in softball it was a risk worth taking.
- If Mahler had been thrown out, Allister should have challenged the call at 1B. It sure looked to me as if Gindlesperger beat the throw. Of course irrelevant as things turned out.
