Palmyra-Macedon had runners in scoring position when the batter looked at the pitch and was presumably called out on strikes. However, the pitch appeared to graze the dirt, which meant the catcher had to tag the batter or throw the ball to first to complete the out.
Instead, Hornell players began to celebrate.
As the celebration was ongoing, the two Palmyra-Macedon runners came around to score. They would be declared the winners of the championship, 6-5. One of the infielders was seen trying to tell his teammates that the play was still ongoing as he sprinted in the dirt but it was too late.

"So, is this the way it’s gonna end?" the broadcaster was heard saying.
The Hornell baseball coach was out there trying to get a clarification from the umpire while his players were stunned and held their hands over their heads.
