Just as the hitter for North Central rounded third, he was leveled by the pitcher who had taken off in a full sprint with the goal to tackle the hitter. The goal was seemingly achieved, as the bench for North Central cleared onto the field.

As the pitcher was removed from being on top of the hitter, he was walked off toward his dugout. Shouting from the stands could be heard as fans voiced their displeasure with the move. The announcer of the game was clearly caught off-guard by what he had just witnessed.
