Wind Blown Triple
Dobbs hits a long fly ball to right in the bottom of the eighth with the Reds leading 7-6. Griffey starts back for the ball, and he looks like he'll have it easily. But a thunderstorm is on the way, and the ball keeps getting blown back. It hits at the top of the wall at the top of the scoreboard, and Utley ends up with a triple. Then the heavens open and the game is being delayed. They are in the situation where the game would be suspended rather than called, since the Reds broke the tie in the top of the inning, and Philadelphia gets a chance to come back.
Correction: It was Dobbs, not Utley who tripled. Dobbs was left at third and the Reds won 9-6.

I think you mean Dobbs, not Utley (unfortunately).
