Photo: Utley triple knocks lost ball out of Wrigley Field Ivy

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley hit a triple into the ivy at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon, and a long-lost ball was found in the process.

As Bill Baer of HardballTalk notes, Cubs center fielder Junior Lake wasn't fooled, immediately reaching for Utley's ball and tossing it back into the infield as quickly as he could.

Two runs scored on the play, and the Phillies went on to win the game 6-5 in Ryne Sandberg's return to Chicago.
