In the bottom of the 10th inning, the Pittsburgh Pirates Left Fielder Josh Harrison was on 2nd base with nobody out when he was caught in a rundown by Jenrry Mejia.
What happened next defies all logic of umpiring and baseball over the past 150 years
Here is a GIF of the botched rundown/blown call by the umpires #Mets http://t.co/gQ9NFbDI3t

Somehow in someway the umpires didn’t think that Harrison was out of the baseline and was ruled safe. The Mets manager Terry Collins was irate but the call stood and could not be challenged since the Mets had used theirs already and, I believe this is true but not 100% sure, couldn’t be challenged anyway.
The Mets looked to be doomed in the inning as it was 2nd and 3rd with nobody out but Jenrry Mejia would strikeout Travis Snyder and Neil Walker before getting Russell Martin to fly out to end the 10th.
What a great job by Mejia after one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Horrendous job by the Umpires but at least the Mets had karma on their side, finally.
Got a lot of requests to make a video of the rundown with Benny Hill music so here #Mets https://t.co/1W57qaX8xH
