Cheap Shot Of The Year

College baseball game. With runners on first and third, the team batting scores on a bunt. The runner on first advanced to second base. There was an incident at first base, but the video does not show it. Watch what happens to the runner standing on second base.

How much is that worth as a penalty? did he get one?

[Bruce]

No penalty, with regard to the outcome of the game. The left fielder was ejected from the game.

However, the left fielder, Austin O'Such, has been suspended from the team by Yavapi Community College for the rest of the season. He could also be suspended from playing other sports for the school. Yavapai is the USA national junior college soccer champions.

Based on what I could tell from the Prescott (Arizona) Daily Courier, Scottsdale, the visiting team that was batting, had tied the game at 8-8 on that play, and then followed it with a two- run home run to win 10-8.
Yavapai failed to score in the bottom of the ninth inning.

So the College applied a more serious sanction than the conference... good for them.
