Ohio HS Center Fielder Chases Down Baserunner To Get A Tag Out At The Plate, Avoiding Inside-The-Park Home Run
In an Ohio High School Division IV game between Fort Recovery and Marion Local High school, one of the most bizarre plays you will ever see on a baseball field happened.

Liberty-Benton eliminated in Division III district final baseball loss to Coldwater
ELIDA, Ohio — Coldwater shortstop Baylen Blockberger fielded a grounder off the bat of Liberty-Benton’s Ashton Crawford and fired to first base. The throw pulled Troy Weigel off the bag, but he swung his glove around and tagged Crawford before he got to first. Eagles’ skipper Matt Rader was quick to question the out, one batter into the game, asking to consider the opinions of the rest of the umpire crew. The out stood as called. And, by the end of Saturday’s Division III district final at Ed Sandy Field, Coldwater had defeated Liberty-Benton, 12-3.
