Dropped Third Strike

[Chad504boy]

I've got a good one for ya...
Bases loaded 2 strikes, 2 outs visitor up by one in the last inning, and the home team is batting.

Dropped 3rd strike... catcher scoops it up skip steps and fires it to first. The throw is really high and goes into right field. Two runs score and the crowd is going nuts!

The Umpire is standing between the plate and pitcher's circle with his fist raised making the out sign. He's been trying to get everyone's attention, but the crowd and home dugout went so wild that no one heard or noticed him.

It turns out that the catcher stepped on the plate while making the throw to first for a force out- Game over!

The catcher never knew she made the play & had no idea there was an easy force at the plate. She just dumbed her way into making the final out and preserving the win.

Funny stuff.

Catcher wanted that 4th out. that's all.

There must have been at least one fan from the other team arguing that because she didn't do it on purpose it wasn't an out

I’m sure that it was probably interference too ...

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. I really don’t believe that but hey it worked out for you so what the hay!!!

I remember when that happened ... I can’t recall who the announcer was (not Vin Scully), but he said “I have waited my whole life to do this ... Hu is on first!”
