Opening Night Explanation

If you missed my broadcast on Friday where I kinda explained what happened in the 8th inning of Thursday's opener, here is what happened during the strange 8th inning of Thursday's game as was explained to me today...A simultaneous call was made by both the base umpire and plate umpire on Mike Massaro's liner...AirHogs third baseman Greg Porter reacted to the home plate call, which was a catch...Adam Klein reacted to the field ump call, which was no catch...Thus with two calls being made, they went with the out on the liner and sent Klein back to first because he was reacting to what he saw in front of him...Hope that makes sense...You can see why I was so confused...Especially since Klein ended up on third while Grand Prairie thought they had a double play...
