Now this is how you avoid a tag at home plate. I don’t have much to add to this video — you just have to see it for yourself.
That was Brian Kownacki of Fordham jumping over Iona catcher James Beck to score a run. FU came back from down 9-1 to win 12-9 in the game. If that jump wasn’t crazy enough for you, how about this stat: Kownacki went to the plate three times but didn’t register an at-bat; he was hit by a pitch all three times!
