College Team's Season Ends After Umpire Calls Out Baserunner He Just Tackled
The Henderson State Reddies beat Northereastern State RiverHawks, 11-10, in the NCAA Division II Central Region. Northeastern State trailed by four with two outs and the bases loaded when Blaze Brothers hit one to the wall, driving home all three runners. Unfortunately, Brothers was called out at second base. By the same umpire that had just ran into him as he rounded first.
We may still lose - but the guy coming to the plate is one of the scariest in the country and it should’ve been decided that way and not like this https://t.co/hif7OKSHtF pic.twitter.com/Lh5QtKw23M

The call resulted in chaos as Northeastern State's manager lost his mind and got tossed from a game that had already technically ended. He continued to yell at anyone brave enough to stick around and listen.
Meanwhile, the Henderson State kids shook hands in the outfield while the poor guy doing play-by-play could really just shout and call the play a joke.
