Historical footnote: The Stars, as part of the A’s organization at the time, turned a controversial triple play vs. Greenville, July 26, 1993 that was offically erased from the books after manager Bruce Kimm’s protest was recognized by the league. It came in the 2nd inning. Interestingly enough, Greenville had pulled a triple play on the Stars earlier that season on May 27. Tim Gillis opened the inning with a single to center. Lee Heath then bunted past pitcher Scott Baker for an infield hit. On a 3-2 pitch to Ed Giavanola, the runners took off. Giavanola sliced a liner into the gap in left-center. Chris Hart ran the ball down for the first out, then threw to Francisco Matos, who doubled up Gillis for the second out. Matos threw to first to try and complete the triple-killing on the returning Heath. His throw was low, skipping past 1st baseman Jim Bowie. Heath had taken second on contact, but Manager Casey Parsons came out of the dugout and appealed. Heath was thumbed out for not retouching second base as he returned to first. Greenville manager Bruce Kimm filed a protest and the game was replayed, wiping out HRs by George Williams and John Kuehl and giving Fausto Cruz a second chance at breaking the club hit streak record Jim Bowie established at 19. The game was replayed two days later. Huntsville won, 5-3, but Fausto Cruz went 0-for-3.
