I was watching the Georgia - Miss St Baseball game. Score tied 2 to 2 in the top of the eighth. Georgia had a man on first with two outs. Batter hits one over the center fielder's head. Center fielder plays ball off the fence and throws to the 2nd baseman who relays the throw home. Miss St. catcher tags out the Georgia runner. Catcher is on top the runner and when he tries to get up, the catcher gives him a slight knee to the chest. It was the third out. Players from the Georgia dugout came out to home plate area. It looked like there could have been some trouble between the teams.
One Miss St player coming off the field bear hugged the Georgia player tagged out to prevent any potential conflict. Players milled around a bit and the play is contested and reviewed. After a few minutes the out was confirmed, but the umps said the play was being further reviewed for unsportsman like conduct. Review took about 35 minutes. The decision ended up with both teams having the players milling around home plate ejected from the game. These players will also miss tomorrow's game. Forty minutes after the play at the plate - Miss St came to bat in the bottom of the 8th inning.
The announcers thought it was a crazy decision. I agreed with them - Worst case - the catcher should have been tossed and game moved on - but forty minutes later - players were ejected and will miss tomorrow's game between he two teams.
Georgia finally won the game 3 to 2.
