Yes, if you watch it again the runner on 3rd totally spaced out. Initially,

I think the 3b runner thought the 3b caught it so he went back. For some reason, after he got back safely to 3rd, he jumped off of 3rd and he got tagged out for the 2nd out. He was safe until that time and required a tag b/c the 3rd baseman forced out the runner coming from 2nd to 3rd. Now no force requiring that runner on 3rd to go. The runner on 1st just didn't go, I assume he thought it was a catch, too. 3b threw to the 2b for the triple play. Everyone was confused so they kept running and tagging for a few seconds after.
