The Hornell Red Raiders met the Palmyra-Macedon Red Raiders in New York's Section V Class B1baseball title game on Saturday and things ended rather chaotically...
(The Big Lead)
quote:
Hornell to ok a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the 7th inning and Pal-Mac was down to their last strike when chaos and confusion resulted in both teams taking a turn celebrating a sectional title.
With a 2-2 count, the Pal-Mac batter took a called third strike, but was not out because the umpire ruled the ball had hit the dirt. The batter took off for first and the catcher pointed as if to say he made the tag, but there was never any confirmation that the out was recorded. So the runner on second took off, as did the batter. Hornell continued to celebrate while the runners rounded the bases.
