Florida hung a 4 spot and took a 6-1 lead in game 2 of the National Championship series
Did y'all think the best college baseball fans in the country would leave early and give up on their team like that in such a big game? It had to be demoralizing for the players to see that.

Win with class, lose with pride.
This board needs more of that sentiment.

Was laughing so hard seeing them fly to the exits. Sore loser pieces of shite. They already have 6 titles in the case and pouting.
That's LSU for you

The game was over on the momentum-killing interference call, and everyone knew it.

I can't believe they called it in that situation, but it was clear and egregious. I thought there'd be a fight if it wasn't such a tense part of the game anyway.
Right call, but I didn't think they'd ever call it in a situation like that

By rule they should have also called the UF base runner who ran an arc outside the path to 2nd to prevent a DP. If you're gonna call one, you gotta call both. But no, everyone just said that was smart base running.

It was just so obvious, the ump had to.

It's the rules. The rules of the game need to be followed.

Wrong, he didn't slide into the knees of the player who currently held the ball preventing a throw from being made.
The LSU player could have still made a throw. There wasn't anything stopping him. Florida's player still made the throw, but it was hindered due to the illegal slide, thus the advancing base runner has to go back to third.

I witnessed Dak on a night when they opened their newly renovated tiger stadium and seated 109,000 on a Saturday night empty that bitch out over the span of about 25 minutes, so yes

The rule (same one) states the runner must stay on the base path. By rule that's a violation, contact or not.
ETA and yes, I do think he should've thrown the ball anyway and hit the violating runner in the back of the shoulder outside the base path.

amen. let the play happen and if they don't turn two, then call it.

Could make the argument that he wasn't out of the baseline. That would have been a normal path to the base if he was rounding second and going to third.
Point is, it's a judgement call. And based on umpires judgment, both the call and the no call went in the Gators favor

I enjoyed the game, I like baseball a lot, even college, though it is about the level of class A minor league ball. but since I've followed several LSU players since before high school....
I also like studying rules... 75% of rule book is unwritten, or "in the opinion of umpire..." and the yearly case book is as important as the written rules.
IN THIS CASE ... under college baseball rules in my opinion this call would be made EVERY time. And there is no "in this game..., or at this time in an important game it shouldn't/wouldn't have been called." That is BS.
In my opinion there was no attempt to slide directly in the direct line. Slide or avoid. Also, because it was interference, not only was the runner required to return to third, the batter was automatically out at first even if the double had not been turned. As far as base path running, that is slightly different and given normal running routes only going to first inside the baseline after a bunt when the catcher is throwing to first is routinely called interference.
I often see parents at little league, Babe Ruth, American Legion, and college yelling about rules that are professional, not age or organization. I recommend before anyone opines on the calls in college baseball, they familiarize themselves with the rule book AND case book.

Nah, the fans did their part. The players know they threw the game away.
Now, imagine playing for a championship and having next to no fans show up to support you. Now that's demoralizing
