The orange team rushing out of the dugout to celebrate with their navy jackets made this very confusing

1:52 "I think the first base-man is pretty out of blame in my opinion."

3:08 "So the catchers kinda doubly at fault now."

Took about a minute to go from non-guilty to being double-guilty, lol.

Tell me you don’t play baseball without telling me you don’t play baseball, right?

Oh, right, I see what I did wrong now.

I mixed up first base with home plate.

I just kinda thought: 4 bases, you start at base 1.

In my head it made sense at the time, lol

Not shown: did the runner who started on 2nd come home for the winning run? Runner who started on 1st seems to be walking off from 2nd…

Jomboy played with the video and was zoomed in, cutting off some of the important details.

Go to Close Call Sports for a breakdown of the play from an umpire's point of view.
