Here's an inventory of the crazy stuff that happened at each level on Tuesday night.
Charlotte
Eloy Jimenez went 0-for-4, but that's not all -- one of his flyouts was caught by Micah Johnson on the warning track. Johnson is still a second baseman, but he happened to be part of a four-man outfield on the play.

Birmingham
Alex Call hit a three-run homer to send the game into extras, and Luis Basabe walked it off with a double in the 10th.

Winston-Salem
Not to be outdone, the Dash also pulled off a 10-inning with a walk-off ... balk? Yup, walk-off balk:

Kannapolis
They needed 11 innings to beat Augusta, and they did so with some classic #WILDPITCHOFFENSE

Great Falls
They didn't play extra innings, and they didn't even win in a walk-off, but their 3-2 victory was assisted by a 4-6-3 triple play started by Amado Nunez.
Great Falls turned a triple play in the bottom of the third. After two batters reached to start the inning, Pablo Abreu lined out to Amado Nunez at second. Nunez threw to Lenyn Sosa at second who stepped on the base and threw to first behind the runner to complete the feat.
