Drop dead in college???? Really??? Coach doesn't know how to have runners step off the base.

Kentucky scored seven unanswered runs in the final three innings of the game and took a 7-4 lead after it hit in the eighth inning. The game had a drop-dead time of 3:30 p.m. ET due to the travel schedule of both teams leaving the Clearwater area tonight.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Texas was down to its last strike, with two outs in the inning and an 0-2 count - the 3:30 p.m. ET drop-dead time was reached and that ended the game. With Texas not completing its at bat in the eighth inning, by NCAA rules, the score reverts back to the most previously-completed inning, which in this case is the seventh inning.
Thus, the final score in the game is recorded as a 4-4 tie, the second tie in program history.
The NCAA Selection Committee will consider the game a tie when evaluating both teams for the 2023 NCAA Tournament."

UK did have a runner step off in the top of the 8th, to move it along. They had a 3:30 drop set because of flights. Texas did 2 runner subs, had a girl ask for contact solution, and take extra pitches in the bottom of the inning. They were 1 strike away from it during the last runner sub, and time expired.
What? No untied shoe laces? No fake injury? Coach is an Amateur. 10U rec coaches would never have let it get down to the last strike.
Wow! That's disappointing for such a well-respected coach.
He didn't act like a well respected coach last year..

How is it not a walk-off when you take the lead in the bottom of the 8th??
It was the top of the 8th when Kentucky took the lead.
