He Scored Without Touching Home 😳⚾

The pitcher suddenly steps off the mound and throws the ball straight to the catcher.The umpire seems to think it's just a routine ball exchange.But the catcher immediately starts appealing.And suddenly, the umpire looks confused, repeating his call over and over.What is actually going on here?You see, the White Sox have the bases loaded.

The batter hits a slow ground ball right back toward the pitcher.

He reacts quickly and fires the ball home.But then something goes wrong.The throw hits the umpire and the ball deflects away.The runner comes in easily and scores at home.And the umpire calls him safe.But here's the problem.

While the umpire was busy trying to avoid the ball, the ball, he missed something crucial.The runner never actually touched home plate.So they decided to call for a mound visit, just to make sure of what they had seen.And once they confirmed it, right before the next pitch, they made the appeal, challenging the original call, knowing they were right.And after the umpires reviewed the play, the call was overturned.
