My guess is the winning team was already up a few runs, the game was over and the ump decided to shorten the game. The team this call went against won 19-8. The coach is even quoted saying they think the ump wanted to go home.
Did anyone catch the tag play at second in ut sc game. Ut tagged underside of runners cleat before the bag. Safe was the call and replay showed otherwise. Good example of honest blown call and they happen. The video has to have something else going on for it to missed that bad.
It wasn't a competitive game. I think the score was 9-0 when this happened.
There was an umpire arrested the same day in another town for being drunk and calling a game. It wasn't this one surprisingly
Almost unbelievably bad call. Wow. As plate umpire I would have called time, took the base umpire aside to make it clear the call was missed, then if necessary reversed the call, regardless of whether I am actually allowed to. Finish the game without the other umpire if necessary - clearly he is serving no purpose anyway.
