Bad base running. Just back up.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Crap! Why does it end the inning?

[GBAU83 212]

WHAT!!!! HOw do they get two outs on that!

[AUBwins 10,075]

She was the out they got

[jared52 4,354]

Wow. Why does that mean the runner is out at first? What a load of garbage.

[WarTiger 3,901]

WHAT????? Now they are saying Carosone was out of the base PATH, (ignore announcers) and Carosone is called out and the run doesn't score. DAMN.... There is no base line from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd. It's called the base PATH. Going to the bottom 7th, game is tied 3-3

[telling tiger 156]

Unreal.............

[Barnacle 9,064]

Someone please explain what just happened. We are watching at a restaurant with no sound. ????

[Jgarrett7 957]

Idk the rules but I don't see how they can possibly award Georgia 2 outs for that.

[AUDub 11,148]

Horse hockey

[Jgarrett7 957]

If she had thrown to 1st then they could call the DP but they never got the hitter out!

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wow... that out was only out #2 of the inning. Where did the 3rd out come from? OK, the run does COUNT. Auburn leads 4-3......

Fly ball to center. 1 out.

[Barnacle 9,064]

Yeah the baserunner should have only been one out. Now it looks like we have 4?

[AUBwins 10,075]

Run still counts. Whew

[telling tiger 156]

Whew.............got the run back....and we'll take it.

[jared52 4,354]

If that's the rule in softball, it's a stupid, stupid rule. Why in all that's good does that mean a runner not involved with that play at all get called out unless the runner interferes with the throw or fielder?

[Barnacle 9,064]

Wow... that out was only out #2 of the inning. Where did the 3rd out come from? OK, the run does COUNT. Auburn leads 4-3......

Fly ball to center. 1 out.

Thanks, WT

[WarTiger 3,901]

gonna need around4ever to chime in on this one. I'm not versed enough on the rules to know how that all happened. I understand the base Path but if she's called out its still only the second out of the inning.

[AUDub 11,148]

How confusing. Umps have not covered themselves in glory here.

[Jgarrett7 957]

Only 2 outs. Bad call

[jw 4 au 526]

Or how can they assume an out at first. I can see the runner being out but to assume the DP would have occurred is asinine. Then to allow the run. They couldn't even explain it right.

[Jgarrett7 957]

Just finish them now! I'm fired up!

[AU64 10,122]

Ump said that the AU coach touched Jade...after she was on first and called her out too but after the run scored.

[jw 4 au 526]

Plate ump has been pretty inconsistent all night. Had a couple of bad inside strike out calls that just were not what he has been calling all night. And he sure doesn't like the lower part of the zone.
