NCAA tournament umpire pushes East Carolina batter out of box as he admires home run

Baseball's unwritten rules tend to be enforced by opposing teams.

Every once in a while, an umpire gets involved.

Case in point: Monday's Greenville Regional NCAA tournament game. With a spot against Texas in the Super Regionals at stake, East Carolina was piling on Coastal Carolina. As the Pirates held a 10-2 lead in the seventh inning, slugging outfielder Bryson Worrell stepped to the plate.

There, he delivered his team-best 18th home run of the season, plating three more runs to extend the ECU lead to 13-2 en route to a 13-4 win. As the moonshot carried over the right-field wall, Worrell took a moment to admire his work.
