Apparently, this is just the week of absolutely ridiculous endings to college elimination games. Earlier this week, we saw the single best hidden ball trick EVER help Trine University reach the Division III Women’s College World Series. And today, we’ve got LSU walking off Auburn on … I don’t even know what to call this.
Here’s what happened: Down 1 run in the bottom of the 9th inning, LSU got runners to second and third with just one out. But it didn’t take a walk-off hit to get those runners in. It took the catcher accidentally kicking a ball away and a bad throw back to the plate to create the most wild and unusual walk-off you’ll ever see.
Like the announcer says … WHAT JUST HAPPENED:

And if you look close, you’ll see that the walk-off error eliminated Auburn from the SEC Tournament. Yikes … that hurts.
