WV Just Stole Home…

So the catcher came out in front of the plate to receive the ball to try to make the tag. If the batter swung and clocked the catcher in the back, catcher’s interference correct and the coach can take the result of the play or if the runner is tagged out batter to first and runner still safe back at 3rd?

That's not the rare Catchers balk??

This is from the article about the jello shots that TheDawg-Pound posted about an hour ago, says first game (opening day of play) is tomorrow?

Announcers didn’t analyze this possibility at all.

Catcher Interference​

Definition​

The batter is awarded first base if the catcher (or any other fielder) interferes with him at any point during a pitch.

If first base was occupied at the time of the pitch, the runner who held the base is permitted to move up one base. This also applies if first and second base were occupied or the bases were loaded at the time of the pitch.

If first base had been empty at the time of the pitch, no additional runners are permitted to advance.

When catcher interference occurs, the umpire will allow the play to progress because the outcome of the play may be more desirable than the interference. In that case, the offensive manager can elect to accept the outcome of the play over the interference.

They played Country Roads after the game so the WV fans and players could all sing along, which I guess is their tradition.

Kinda corny, but cool, too, since its their first CWS.

West Va plays small ball. Might work well in that park. Saved their ace for game two
