I guess everyone was lazy here. In this sitch, as you know, the mindset is to get the pitches over with so we can get to playing real baseball again.

If this is the kind of umpiring the NCAA and Yeast want to hang their hats on good luck with that. IMO, they ruined a great ending to a great game.

If that's the case, then they should allow the defense to wave the batter to first base like the FED.
