As the Oregon Ducks suffered a tough, 6-5 loss in the Eugene regional in the NCAA baseball tournament, a controversial call following a home plate collision cost the Ducks a run and potentially the game.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Oregon left fielder Anson Aroz tagged from third base following a flyout. Utah Valley catcher Mason Strong stood in front of the plate as he awaited the throw home from left field. The ball bounced in front of Strong and went just over his glove as Aroz ran through the plate, causing a big collision that initially resulted in a run for Oregon.
