OT: No one covering home plate? Tag him out from center field...

[ptrich]

In an Ohio high school playoff game, a ball dropped in shallow center field and with the runner circling the bases, the outfielder saw that no one was at home plate after the catcher had moved out to 3B, so he chased the runner down and made a diving tag of the runner at home plate for the out.

NEVER see a Center fielder make a play at home plate!
Probably happened in little league, but I’ve never seen it before.
Wild.

Good hustle by the CF, but the rest of the infield should have to run next practice, along with the coach. Terrible execution by the infield. Catcher had no business going to third and where was the pitcher. Dumb
