UM pitcher slips in effort to get to a bunted ground ball toward 3B. Turf is uprooted as a result. Bianco goes to umpires who are then joined by Berry. Two of the umpires go to the tunnel and a groundskeeper repairs the turf. Upon return of the two umpires both coaches are talked with and the game was called a no contest in the bottom of the fourth with USM batting with a man on first and no outs. Crowd loudly booed. Surely there were concerns already expressed before this particular play…game in the 4th inning already. It didn’t seem like that big of a deal. If it was that unsafe the game should not have been played which would have saved a lot of time and money. Fans got the shaft.
