An umpire appeared to have crossed the line during an Athletic American Conference baseball matchup between Central Florida and Wichita State on Friday night.
Knights infielder Andrew Brait was at bat and took a pitch from righty Nate Snead. Brait didn’t offer at it as it appeared to be outside and a little high. However, the home plate umpire punched him out for a called third strike.
