I knew it wasn't a dead ball, but I didn't realize you needed to tag the runner. But it makes sense. How would you know the guy tagged up or didn't if the ball was never actually caught.

On an infield fly rule, the batter is automatically out and runners can advance at there own risk. Runners are not forced, therefore the tag must be applied. Not a pretty win at all but it's a win. Down right sloppy at times. Southerns closer was throwing bb's. Wow

His last pitch was clocked at 94 mph. What is he doing at SU. Our guys could not catch up to his fastball.

I was screaming "infield fly rule, batters out" in my living room. Of course I still do a lot of things like I'm still umpiring baseball games.

And the rule is the same throughout every level of baseball. The play is not dead. The batter is out when it is determined that the ball can be caught by an infielder (doesn't necessarily have to be in the infield, but does have to be in fair territory). All runners are now no longer forced, but can advance at their own risk. Since they are no longer forced, a tag must be applied to record an out.

Control! We helped him by swingging at FB's out of the zone.

A little time in Coach Robe system and gain some control and this guy could be a very good D1 pitcher.

A ball is not foul until it makes contact with a player or an object (light pole, fence, etc) or stops in foul territory. The ball did bounce in foul territory, but the spin on it carried it into fair territory where Keefer touched which then made it a fair ball. Keefer could have either tagged the runner right next to him, touched home plate (bases were loaded, therefore there was a force at home), or throw to first (which he did).

Guy had as many walks as innings pitched. That said, he really threw hard.

Sounded like former Cajun Chase Richard was impressive last night as well. It is ashame he got lost in the shuffle at UL. He has had some impressive outings including the Cajuns last year and LSU at the regional last year.

I thought I saw a 95-96 on rador while he was throwing. Dunno how accurate there gun was, but regaurdless he was throwing BB's. Even Griff touches 92 on there gun and I didn't think he threw quiet that hard. I could be wrong, but..... U right there kid is out of place at southern with a live arm like that
