WATCH: Massachusetts Little League baseball team makes Pennsylvania look silly with a rare quadruple play

During the Little League World Series game between New England and Mid Atlantic, a very confusing play happened. In the fifth inning, New England turned a 'quadruple play.'

you ever see a quadruple play before?" - Jomboy Media

Yes, you heard that correctly; team New England technically turned a quadruple play. Although there are only three outs in each inning, New England has found a way to "turn four" in this baseball game.

The quadruple-play started with the batter hitting the baseball into left-center field, where the left fielder made an epic diving catch for the first out. The left fielder then relays the ball to home plate, where the catcher tagged the runner for the second out.

This is where things begin to get odd for the Mid Atlantic team. For some reason, there are two runners stranded at first base. They attempted to run for second, where the second basemen tagged them for the third and 'fourth' out.

The reason for this confusion was due to the batter who hit the ball still rounding the bases. It is possible that the batter did not know that the left fielder had caught the ball and that is why he kept running. Keep in mind that these kids are still in Little League, and it could have easily been as simple as a mistake.

Nevertheless, the execution of the play on the defensive end was very impressive from these kids. Although aged 11-13, these kids show a lot of talent, and it looks as though the future of baseball is in good hands.
