Walk off HR but didn't touch home
Wow!
Briarwood Christian’s Morgan Reed – a Notre Dame commitment – blasted a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to give the Lions the apparent win, but Reed jumped over home plate into the arms of celebrating teammates. Shelby County catcher Jaselyn Harrison saw Reed miss the plate and appealed to the home plate umpire, who ruled Reed out. /end snippet and insert my own commentary. Shelby County would go on to win 4-3 in the ninth. From talking with tournament workers, the PU got it right. |

The score was 3-1 bottom 7 two outs. The appeal was the third out and that run was disallowed, making it 3-3. Mine wasn't a question as the PA announcer and a couple others told me they saw the batter/runner miss home plate. There were some UPSET Briarwood fans. But I tip my cap to the PU for getting the call right, knowing it was going to start a fecal-storm.

I would tip my cap to the catcher for having seen the infraction and making the appeal.
