Fantastic catch, but I’ve always been of the belief that if you catch the ball but fall over the home-run wall, it should be a home run because you broke the home-run plane and didn’t land back on the field.

Not a popular stance, I know.

also the catch was made by Brian Monack in the 6th inning. He is a sophomore at Quinnipiac from Branford, Connecticut. The game was 2-0 at that point. Quinnipiac won 5-4 on a Mike Bartlett 2-run RBI single in the bottom of the 9th to win the game.

I want to let everyone know that I, Sam Friedman was the one who filmed the catch, and Justin Cohen was the one who edited the tape and put Seth’s voice. It was good Voice over work, but his calling of the play was not originally part of the tape. I want to make it clear that Seth was the radio announcer, not a TV announcer.

What an amazing catch and what an amazing job announcing it.

Thanks for posting this, Pete.

Pete, Thanks for posting that!

The ruling was a catch, because he caught the ball in play, then tumbled out of play. We were talking about that on our broadcast too, but the ruling was a catch, and according to the NCAA rulebook, that’s the correct ruling.

Our Sports Information Office rushed the ball to all the local media outlets, who showed it, and to ESPN. They didn’t show it on the Top 10 Plays, for whatever reason.

they ran off the field high-fiving each other, i dont suppose they would do that if it was a walk-off HR, otherwise the inning isnt over.

Isn’t that a home-run in the rule books; because his entire body ended up in the home-run territory?
Fantastic catch…just wondering.

“patrick im talking about trading guys like matsui who would bat cleanup in sf or damon who would leadoff every day for the sox, in trades for role players.”

That is not a good idea. You want to give up valuable players for guys that ride the bench? Brilliant, simply brilliant.

“now thats just statistical bull. is posada a better hitter than giambi (the guy he’d replace?)
you know he is.”

Oh so now statistics are bull. When both are healthy, Giambi is easily the superior hitter.
