Oh my. Avans steals 2B. For the second time this inning the Knights infield drops the ball at 2B (they missed a CS on Berroa earlier). Berroa sees the drop and scores from 3B. 11-10. Avans rounds 3B on an oppo knock through the left side oft he infield and the home plate ump absolutely botches the call at home. He was absolutely safe. 

The best part is the ump is entirely shielding himself from the play going behind the catcher. Avans slid in front of him. The ump can't even see it. But, of course, he calls it confidently. And, this, folks, is the Minor Leagues.

(Let's be honest, umps blow calls at every level 😅)

Well upon further review, the catcher may have very very savvily stayed inside the base path but with his back knee guarding the plate. He very well may have been out but there's really no good angle to see it in slow motion. Tie to the runner! Tie to the runner!😅

[Joseph Zarr]

Nope. He's Safe. Catcher is still catching that ball there. Avans foot is on the plate. Tie also goes to the runner...except in modern baseball where the tie goes via whatever the ump thinks he sees. Man, that's brutal. He's looking right at the play. And just misses it entirely.
