Situation #2:
 
With runners at 2nd and 1st base, the batter grounds a chopper to the shortstop. The shortstop catches the ball between hops with his bare hand, slaps the runner advancing to third with his empty glove and throws over to first to complete the double play. How many are out on this play?
