Maybe there is a new NCAA mechanic that tells umpires not to signal DB when it is obvious that it should be. If you remember, this was also an issue in the crash at home in the TN game last week.

You would think that U3, starting on the line and being right at third watching the play would have noticed that R2 was about 55 feet from third when the interference happened! I would love to hear their explanation for this one. I can't think of one other than they just flat out blew it.

Maybe that was the problem, no one checked out R2 and then all of a sudden when they realize there was another runner, she is standing on 3B. That would not be good, but at least it would explain why she was still on 3B.
