Delsea pitcher George Starr appeared to attempt a pickoff at second base. It looked like he had thrown the ball to one of the infielders and like the ball had made its way to center field. However, Starr still had the ball in his hand and tagged the unsuspecting Audubon base runner out as he tried to run to third base.
It was a well-executed hidden ball trick.
