A chaotic sequence unfolded in a Minor League game with the bases loaded and one out. A fly ball was caught, but everything after that spiraled into confusion. The runner on third never tagged up, which should have led to an out. Instead, the defense made several throws chasing runners, and the umpires made unclear and contradictory signals. One runner gave up and walked off assuming he was out, but no umpire had called him out yet. Another runner was eventually tagged at third, but the crew had missed that the earlier runner hadn’t tagged up.
The umpires got together and ruled that the ball was caught, but the runner from third scored anyway. Despite at least one missed call, the run stood. Tensions boiled over when an umpire exchanged tough words with the opposing catcher. This led to the manager storming out and getting ejected, even though his team scored on the botched play. He let the umpire have it, shouting about how badly they botched the sequence. He called out the crew for mismanaging the tag-up and losing control of the game. The whole moment was a mess from top to bottom, but somehow a run still counted and the inning ended.
