Poll: Out or Safe? You Make the Call
It was a bang-bang play at the plate. What do you think the call should have been?
A close call in the bottom of the eighth inning solidified a trip to the second round of the NJSIAA North 2, Group IV playoffs for the Hillsborough High School baseball team, while Watchung Hills Regional High School saw its season end.
With two outs and the Raiders leading by one run with the Warriors at the plate, the pitch got past the catcher. Pinch runner Eric Zadrozny sprinted home and dove in at the same time catcher Tyler Ferretti dove back for the tag. The call on the field was out, ending the game at 3-2 for the Raiders.
What do you think should have been called? A photo of the play, as well as a YouTube video show, the action. Should the call have been safe, out, or do you think it was too close for you to call? Let us know in our poll.

Catcher hit the plate with his glove before the runner's hand did. I trust the call from the ump MORE (for a change... if anyone says I said this... I'll deny it... LOL) because he was at a better angle.
