How about this?  Bases loaded, everyone running.
The runner on third falls just off the bag.  The runner on second, a real
speedster, passes the fallen runner before he can get up, a putout for the
third baseman.  Meanwhile, even though the bouncer to third is slow, the
runner on first and the batter are slower.  The runner on third realizes that
if he doesn't do something, a double play is certain, so he gets up un such
a manner as to be deliberately hit with the ball.  The second putout for the
third baseman.  But the ump rules that the runner deliberately interfered
to break up the double play, and so rules the batter out.  The third putout.
