Great point! They had good composure, and more importantly what has been overlooked was after all CCU were the 12th best rpi team, so probably should have been hosting anyhow

I don't think the safe call was correct at all.

The fielder didn't have possession of the ball. The batter-runner never touched first base. The umpire just should have stood there until one or the other happened.

The safe sign was given because the ball was jarred loose from the fielder. That was wrong. Umpire totally missed the fact the batter runner never touched first.

There is a view online of the play as seen from second base. I can see how the umpire could have made the call in error. The runners left foot was very very close (I know close doesn't count) to the front of the bag in the instant before the collision. If instant replay was an option in baseball I don't think the call would have been overturned. Not saying the right call was made.

Sorry I'm not a techie. Not my strong suit.
I just did a search for "LSU Coastal Carolina collision at first base" and several sites came up. Some of them included the video. Wish I knew how to slow down the video even more. That would be even better.

Look at third still shot down.... Fielder has ball on base and runner is illegally in fair terrirtory

I see that. Didn't focus on that before. Was thinking of most comments that referred to the runner not touching first base.

I just got finished watching the whole ninth inning again. What is truly remarkable to me is how much ccu was up against it defensively: after the possums tied it up it was bases loaded with only one out. And with over 10K screaming tiggers, they kept their calm and worked their way out of it. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but there were two homers in particular behind home plate trying to distract the pitcher...making stupid signals, throwing with a limp wrist, etc. But he kept his cool, K'd one with some really great pitching, than got the next guy to fly out. Fantastic thing to see......setting themselves up for the walk off win. Very nice indeed.
I had turned off the volume last night cause I couldn't deal with the possum fans.....so it was extra sweet to go back today and watch it again with the volume on this time. So many drooping possum hats and fans, lol.

Those two homers were driving me crazy! I was hoping to notice their reaction to the walk off but I was too excited in the moment and never rewound the game.

Instant replay was used in the Supers this year but only for fair/foul, homerun/ground rule double, outfield catch/ no catch, and fan interference.

YES! I viewed and reviewed it to try to see them at the end.....but if they filmed them they didn't show them. Seems like it would only be fair since we were subjected to them during the game....we needed closure!!! Lol

I thought you Cajuns were experts on baseball.

The ump should never ever call the runner safe if he has not touched the base or plate. The ump should simply stand there.

So why on a dropped third strike if the catcher attempts to tag the runner and misses does the home plate umpire signal safe?
