FAYETTEVILLE — There was an Arkansas baseball fall scrimmage with a towering fly ball down the line that went over the wall in left field. It was fair for a good bit, then twisted foul at some point.
The umpire behind the plate hesitated, then signaled foul. He was probably right, but the players in the third base dugout had some doubt as they leaned over the railing to help their angle.
“Check it on TrackMan,” challenged one player.
“Yeah,” came the shout from several teammates.
That didn’t happen, but it was a significant moment in my mind.
