Batter is out and runners that advanced to 2nd and 3rd returned to original bases.

Is this an NCAA rule or is it an ASA rule? I had never heard of this before.
I saw it. Damn good call and you know when the talking heads get it right, even the 8 yo in the stands knew what happened. Everyone by the BR knew what happened. From the coach's reaction, I think he expected the BR to know better.

The talking heads, of course, couldn't leave it alone and analyzed the **** out of the play to the point of idiocy, but we should not be surprised by that.

I am a firm believer that every network should assign an asst. producer to every booth with a queue card for the announcers that simply states, "Shut the **** up!"
