Marlins lose home run following bizarre base-running error

ust when you think you've seen everything the game has to offer, baseball finds a way to surprise you. That was the case Monday night, as the Miami Marlins managed to lose a home run due to a bizarre base-running error.

Allow us to set the stage. With one out in the bottom of the second inning, Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna hit a single up the middle to kick things off for Miami. On the second pitch of the next at-bat, catcher J.T. Realmuto drove a ball to deep left field, near the Marlins home run structure.

Center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis tracked the ball to the outfield wall, and jumped at the last second, thinking he had a shot to come up with the catch. That wasn't the case, and Realmuto appeared to hit a two-run homer to give Miami an early lead.

We say "appeared," because Realmuto was never awarded with a home run. He was actually given a single and an RBI, and was ruled out on the play after passing Ozuna on the base paths.

How could this happen? Well, it makes sense when you watch the play in real-time. Ozuna couldn't commit to second base on the play based on how Nieuwenhuis was tracking the ball. Instead, he ran back to first to tag up, just in case Nieuwenhuis came down with an amazing catch.

Realmuto, meanwhile, was running out the play. Even if he didn't have a home run, he was hustling down to first as most hitters do on fly outs.

Problem is, when Realmuto reached first, he took one to two steps toward second base. This occurred at exactly the same time Ozuna went back to tag first in case the ball was caught. For roughly two seconds, Realmuto had accidentally passed Ozuna on the bases.

That was enough for the umps to make the call. After a quick review, it was determined that Realmuto had indeed passed Ozuna on the base paths. The Marlins were awarded with one run instead of two, and Realmuto was called out on the play.

For a while, the Marlins announcers and even the official scorer were unsu

I get heading back to the bag because you are unsure if it will be caught or not but once you see it went over the fence why did you tag the bag again?

I don't think he was ... thinking. He was in auto-mode.

Dewd who hit HR shoulda been tho.

Both should have been. But let's be honest here, when you hit a home run your not thinking about anyone else on the basepaths, you're thinking, "hell yeah I just hit a homer!"
