Fresno State had the bases loaded in the 11th inning. Catcher Zach Morgan swung and missed, and it looked like Seton Halls’ catcher Staus Pokrovsky caught Ryan Higgins trying to steal home for the win.
Pokrovsky fired the ball to third baseman Casey Dana, and he followed Higgins on a rundown to home plate. Dana thought he was making a routine throw to his pitcher Corey Sawyer for an easy out, and confusion ensued.
The home plate umpire told Sawyer on home base to move off the line, so when third baseman Casey Dana threw it home, there was no one there to catch it.
