1b umpire had to have asked for help. It can't be overruled by the plate umpire without him asking.Now the NCAA says the home plate umpire is the one who over-ruled. WTF??
I would have LOST it if I was the Cal Irvine coach.
For thos that didn't see it--close play at first--wide throw--1B umpire ruled he held on with his toe..Crowd went nuts in WSU and the home umpire came in and changed the call
I didn't see it, so it's hard for me to say. One thing I do know is that announcers don't know shit about the rules or about umpiring.You will have to ask someone else who watched the game--but even the announcers said there was no precedence for this.
2 out hit for WSU--they tie and can now win--BS!!!
If the plate umpire overruled him on his own, then he is way in the wrong. That should never happen in a little league game, let alone the super regionals. Many of these umpires are horseshit, but that's something that should never happen.It did not appear that the 1st base ump asked for help. They just said that over rules aren't that uncommon in college baseball.
