Likely the 'TV mask'. ESPN wires up a mask at each location (Used to be +POS SUL's).
I think he had a malfunction. It looked like he went over to a dugout with his mask in-hand. I had the volume turned off because I was on the phone talking to a buddy about the game and then suddenly he appeared with the new mask and his HSM was back the next inning. That's the conclusion I came to.

Did you see the woman behind the plate during the Southern regional? The game was way too big for her. She called a foul tip on a foul ball with a runner coming to the plate and I think she closed her eyes on a pitch because the kid swung and she called it a ball. The big one (IMO) was when they made the kid go back after leaving early twice. His coach came and talked to her about it and she said (and I paraphrase) - He's leaving early coach. He did it in the game I had you guys earlier and I didn't call it. I'm like YIKES! Do you realize you are MIC'd?

I just thought she was prepared for the game.
