You beat me to this one - I was going to post it.  Oh well I will solve it.

1st inning:
Batter lines the first pitch into right field corner for a triple. (1 pitch)

Next batter up - runner at third tries to steal home - pitcher throws ball to 
catcher to make the play at home.  Batter interfers and is out and runner
back to third. (1 out - no pitch)

Next batter up - runner at third tries to steal home - pitcher throws ball to 
catcher to make the play at home.  Batter interfers and is out and runner
back to third. (2 out - no pitch)

Next batter up - Same thing (3 out - no pitch)

2nd inning:
Batter lines the first pitch into right field corner for a triple. (1 pitch)

Next batter up - runner at third tries to steal home ..........

Get the idea.  This is possible but highly improbable.

Other question has been answered on net a few months ago.
