Balk ends NCAA game

Here are Carl's conclusions (minus 1761 words)...

• If the pitcher didn’t stop, it was a balk, intentional walk notwithstanding.
  
  The game situation (win/loss on the line) should have no effect on the decision to penalize the balk.
  
  If your supervisor says call it, do so.

I think the third item may have been what really prompted the umpire to make the call.

Perhaps he didn't miss the previous balks;I really don't know. When in position B or C, I talk to my pitchers. And if I saw previous balks I probably would have said, "Make sure you get a stop in there." And next time, "You missed stopping on that last pitch. Make sure you get a stop in there." And finally, after reminding him on the previous two pitches, (okay you dumbass) "THAT'S A BALK!"

Oops. Game over.
