The Hornell Red Raiders magical baseball season seemed to have a Section V championship attached with a 5-4 win over a favored Pal-Mac in Batavia Saturday afternoon.
However, the last strike of the game was caught, then appeared to hit the dirt. The Hornell catcher alertly tagged the runner and someone yelled out touching off a celebration at the mound.
However, the runner noticed the umpire didn’t call the out and ran to first. Runners kept going. As Hornell celebrated, the tying run scored. As many were celebrating, a few players realized what was going on, but with players from both teams on the field and umpires and coaches, who knew where the ball was as the winning run crossed!
Even Robert Peisher doing the game on video heard the out and yelled “Hornell wins it” but then he also noticed the chaos.
Pal-Mac won, 6-5.
