The catch to this situation is the very fact that the pitch the Red batter
(Dave Parker) swung at was in the dirt.  Because this would have been the 
third out the Cubs were obligated to either tag Parker or Throw down to first
before he got there.  With less than two out and first base occupied Parker
would of course automaticly been out.  But of course their were two out at 
this time.  While WGN was running the commercial Parker started to trot out towards the outfield unto the Red's manager (Vern Rapp) yelled at him to stand on
first base.  This of course is what he did and since the Cubs failed to make
a play on him he was declared safe at first.  Therefore instead of the end 
of the inning the situation changed to runners on first and second and only
two outs.
