Folks, you’re just gonna have to see this one to believe it.
A centerfielder for an Ohio high school baseball team thwarted his opponents’ daring dash to home plate Friday, not with his arms but, shockingly, with his legs.
A Fort Recovery High School batter stepped up to the plate during the sixth inning of a game against rival Maria Stein Marion Local and slapped what should have been a routine single into shallow centerfield, a video WOSN Sports posted to Twitter shows.
But a lapse in judgement by Marion’s infielders left second base open for the Ft. Recovery player to take. Once Ft. Recovery’s third baseman noticed the hole in coverage, he left his position at third to fill in, beginning a cascade effect that would eventually set up the pure insanity that took place at home plate.
Poor coaching, 2nd base, third base, and home plate not covered. What are these players be taught?
