Summary
During a college baseball game between UCLA and USC, UCLA used a common trick play to prevent a potential comeback by USC. The play involved pretending to throw the ball to second base, causing the runner on third to break towards home, where they were tagged out. This play is considered basic and is often practiced in Little League. USC’s failure to recognize the trick play was seen as embarrassing, especially given the high stakes of the game.
