This Has to be One of the Biggest Cheap Shots Ever Delivered in a Baseball Game

All, High School Sports, Video Jason McIntyre April 6th. 2012, 2:55pm

Watch what happens to the runner on 2nd base. Keep an eye on the outfielder, who comes racing in to deliver a blow to the unsuspecting kid. It doesn’t get much dirtier than that. [via Jimmy Traina]

[UPDATE: This is a game between Scottsdale Community College and Yavapai Community College on March 29th. The player in question appears to be Yavapai's Austin O'Such. There is no game account of this incident, but there's this story from this week noting that cleanup hitter and outfielder O'Such is "serving a suspension after an on-field incident last week". You'll be happy to know he is supposed to return.

Also, Yavapai was featured last year in this memorable story involving a foul-mouthed coach.]

Ok so he tackled him from behind. While extremely dirty, it’s not like he ran from the outfield and clocked him in the back/side of the head with a haymaker. He probably got the wind knocked out of him more than anything.

no, it’s battery. No assault because he didn’t see him coming.

Yes, Milk … looks like assault to me

Has to be a JC. Wood bats or composites are being used. Not to mention the field looks much nicer than any high school field I ever played on.
Who Let the Dogs Out was a nice touch.

the play was dead…this wasn’t a “baseball act”, to coin a phrase. Cheap, low-grade SOB. I don’t know all the context, but in a vacuum that looked all sorts of wrong.

Based on the title of the YouTube video, it looks like this was Yavapai Community College vs. Scottsdale Community College.

Westwood doubled 18 to finish at -4. There is a four player tie (McIlroy, Couples, Garcia, Dufner) at -5. Woods is -1 (-1 total) through 4.

Assault is criminal here. There’s stil both assault and battery on the civil side.

That’s Suffolk County Community College, thank you. I got my AD there before moving onto UK.
The baseball team is always pretty good, but you’d be shocked – SHOCKED – to learn that the campus is filled with douchebags.

That kid may never play in another baseball game unless the field is surround by barbed wire and towers with snipers.

Maybe the left fielder couldn’t get to the guy on first, so he went for a target of opportunity.

How can you call that classic? I’ve never seen a move quite like that before. I’d more like to call it an “innovative” douche move.

oops … friend.
Yeah he had hit a ball in the rough near the edge where they were standing. He starts all the “hey how YOU doin’” “are you hanging around later?” and my buddy Jeff says something to the effect like “Bad lye, you’re gonna fuck this one up.” and grabs his wife by the arm and moves along.
And yes – she’s hot. And bat-shit crazy.
