Anderson was on second to begin the play and apparently thought Green caught the ball on the fly. He didn't look at third base coach Larry Bowa waving him over and stayed at second. Meanwhile, Matt Walbeck went from first to second. But when he saw Anderson standing there, he also assumed the ball was caught and ran back toward first. While the Angels were confused on the base paths, Green got the ball in to pitcher Chris Carpenter, who threw to Tony Fernandez for the force on Anderson at third. Fernandez then threw to second baseman Craig Grebeck to force Walbeck, who by this time was nearly back at first base. Because the double play started with a force out, Edmonds' run did not count.
