It's a scoring description of a double play where the shortstop (6) throws to the second baseman (4), then the second baseman throws to the first baseman (3) for the double play. 6, 4, and 3 are the abbreviations used in scorekeeping for those positions.
So if you were scoring at home, a shortstop to second to first double play would be written "6-4-3"

They mean the order of throws in a double-play (or other occurrence) went from 6 to 4 to 3.
The way they number the players is:
Pitcher 1, Catcher 2, 1B 3, 2B 4, 3B 5, SS 6, LF 7, CF 8 and RF 9. So in this case it went from the short stop to the second baseman to the first baseman.

6 is the shortstop postion. 4 is the 2nd baseman postion. and 3 is the first base position. all this meaning the ball was hit to shortsop(6) then thrown to the second baseman (4) and then thrown to the first basman (3). creating a 6-4-3 double play, creating 2 outs.

"If the ball originated with the shortstop and was then thrown to the second baseman, the play is referred to as a "6-4-3 double play", after the numbers assigned to the players in order of field position; if it is hit to the second baseman and then thrown to the shortstop, it is known as a 4-6-3 double play (6-shortstop, 4-second base, 3-first base; see baseball scorekeeping)."

each baseball player has a number
1 Pitcher
2 Catcher
3 1st Base
4 2nd Base
5 ShortStop
6 3rd Base
7 Left Field
8 Centre Field
9 Right Field
As others have stated 6-4-3 DP is when the hitter hits the ball to the 3rd baseman who throws it to the 2nd baseman who throws it to the 1st baseman. there is many different combinations and some can get very complicated!!!!!
