The routine arrives with confidence.
A high school baseball game in Florida ended with a walk-off double, but the real story is the umpire negligence that led to the winning run. The game seemed to have ended one batter prior, but the umpires missed a play, and the baserunner was allowed to remain at second base. The strikeout was recorded, but the ball was still alive. The runner drifted from his post and was thrown out, but the umpires were caught sleeping. The next hitter then drilled a two-run double to win the game.
The lifestyle enters the chat: where a missed call can change the outcome of a game, and a season.
