After landing on his stomach, Middlebrooks wheels to look back for the ball. Craig steadies himself with one hand, picks himself up, glances behind him to try to find the baseball, then turns toward home, strangely, from the second-base side of the bag. He doesn't see Middlebrooks, sprawled directly in front of him, until he stumbles over him, just as Middlebrooks is starting to push himself up, legs in the air. Down goes Craig again. And Joyce lurches into action, pointing emphatically at the two men flopped in front of him.
