Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller didn’t understand the explanation. But it was a call that helped end the Hawkeyes’ season. An interference call on a 10th-inning
An interference call on a 10th-inning double play attempt cost Iowa a crucial run in Thursday’s 4-2 loss to Illinois in a Big Ten Tournament elimination game at Charles Schwab Field.
Except Huckstorf was called for interference on the play. Seegers was also ruled to be out, and runners Davis Cop, who would have scored on the play from third base, and Reece Moore were sent back to their bases. The replay official agreed with the call, and Heller was ejected for arguing the call.“How it all went down at the end, I don't really understand,” Heller said. “I still don't know what they saw on the double play, and I've watched it plenty of times.
Mark Uhl, the umpire coordinator for the tournament, said through pool reporter Kyle Huesmann of HawkeyeReport.com, “It’s all about the slide in the physical position. That was the ruling on the field, confirmed by video replay.”Iowa rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to tie the game and send it to extra innings, but Coltin Quagliano’s two-run single in the top of the 10th put the top-seeded Illini out front.
“Just like yesterday we played hard and competed hard, but we didn't play our best baseball,” Heller said. “We didn't give up, we fought hard. The first two runs were on a walk and a sac fly, which probably wouldn't have happened if we played clean baseball.”
