This was bad baseball all around, except from home-plate umpire Jeff Head. Almost every bit of the most-important play from the final game of the College Park regional of the NCAA Baseball Tournament was absurd. <\/p>\n

As Maryland’s Chris Alleyne hits a slow-roller down the first-base line, one forthcoming action after another was horribly executed until the play was blown dead. UConn pitcher Justin Willis was slow to react after contact, Huskies first baseman Ben Huber stood in an unideal position to get the out and Alleyne, most egregious of all, didn’t stay inside what the NCAA defines as the base path. <\/p>\n

Each team was three victories away from the College World Series on Monday night. One play is a miniscule sample size but a calamity of errors, both literal and figurative, took place here. None from Head, who was the only person in the ballpark to see everything crystal clear, as he should. <\/p>\n
