ESPN took advantage of one of its microphones worn by the umpires at the College World Series to get additional details on a third-inning play that robbed the University of North Carolina of a home run.
During Saturday night's 4-3 win over Oregon State, UNC left fielder Jay Cox could be heard yelling, "Hey, we've got fan interference. We've got fan interference," on left field umpire John Kleis' microphone.
Kleis then consulted with another umpire and could be heard saying, "We've got a double. We've got a double, two."
Oregon State coach Pat Casey then came out of the dugout to argue that the ball should have been ruled a home run. His comments were also picked up by the umpires' microphones.
"Why are you looking at him? "He's got the better angle," Casey said to the home plate umpire.
ESPN installed 81 microphones at Rosenblatt Stadium for its coverage of the CWS.
