NASHVILLE: Play of the year

By Chris Lee - June 01, 2007

David Price has struck out seven Austin Peay hitters through four, but the Governors have hit some hard balls off him, including the last pitch.

Jake Lane singled solidly through the middle, then No. 5 hitter Trey Lucas came to the plate. As the Governors have done all night, they're either taking Price the other way or up the middle. Lucas took him the other way and screamed one to the gap in right center that looked for all the world as if it might be a run-scoring double.

Then out of nowhere came right fielder and all-American Dominic de la Osa, who ranged to his right, got extended and snared the ball just before he hit the ground. He then sprung to his feet and fired back to first to double off Lane and end the inning.

Then, CSS really blew it on the replay much to the laughter of us in the press box. The right field camera tried to follow the ball from the bat to de la Osa and back in, and all that we saw was a moving green patch the whole time. That takes the cake for an anticlimactic replay.
