The play came in the bottom of the sixth inning, when the match was tied at 2 runs and it was Urshela’s turn at bat.
With one out on the board, but with Luke Voit and Clint Frazier on the pads, the Bolivarian hit a hit to a difficult area between center field and right. The center fielder Kevin Kiermaier ran for the ball and dove, but failed to catch it and the ball continued to the back wall.
Her partner Austin Meadows went for her and returned her to the frame when Urshela had already turned to third, but Willy Adames failed to make a high send to the plate and that allowed the Colombian to start third in the search for the fifth race.

The pitcher managed to return the ball to the catcher, but Urshela won by malice and reached out to the side and touched the plate before the glove brushed her chest, with which the umpire declared him safe and made the score 5-2.
This is how the tremendous play looked at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The ‘bombers’ account called it “a swing and slide of another level”:

In the end the third baseman went 2 of 4, with a run scored and two RBIs, because unfortunately his great play was classified as an error and they did not even give him a triple, but a double. The match ended 5-3 for the locals, so the play was key to the victory.
In this other shot, the effort in the run of the Colombian player to score one more run is better appreciated:

Urshela had also been a hero in recent days when he landed a definitive hit in the bottom of the last inning to give his team victory in the New York classic, leaving the Mets on the field.
