Two Left Heels?

University of North Carolina 2nd baseman Ryan Steed committed a throwing error in a 2-2 game with two outs in the bottom of the 8th against the Oregon State Beavers. The throwing error allowed the go ahead run to score. While Steed made a poor throw, he isn't totally at fault. It looked like a routine play and it should have been, so the UNC first baseman treated it as such. The first baseman was playing deep and took his time getting to the bag, expecting a throw right to him. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, the throw wasn't perfect. It wasn't awful either. It was on the OF side of the bag, so the first baseman had to reach against his motion to try to catch the ball ... and it didn't work well. If the first baseman had hustled to the bag and set up and then stretched in the correct direction for the ball, he would have made the catch, prevented the unearned run, and saved his 2nd baseman. Too bad he lollygagged and combined with his teammate to give the Beavers the national championship.
