If you start an opening round men's College World Series game at 10:15 p.m. CT—as the NCAA opted to Saturday night after a weather delay—you are putting a tremendous amount of faith in the sanity of the two teams' fans.

If you start an opening round men's College World Series game at 10:15 p.m. CT between Florida and Texas A&M—well, let's just say the NCAA's faith was not rewarded.

As the announcers noted, the incident may have rattled Florida—which abruptly declined to challenge a close play with the bases loaded.

After the craziness of the second inning, the Aggies—minus one fan—took a 2–0 advantage into the third inning.
