College baseball umpire suspended after ‘horrific’ strike calls end game

• Reggie Drummer's calls deemed detrimental' to game
• UNO beat Mississippi Valley State 7-3 on Saturday

A college baseball umpire was suspended indefinitely by the Southland Conference on Saturday in connection with a pair of late called strikes to end a game between Mississippi Valley State and New Orleans.

The sequence of disputed calls began when home plate umpire Reggie Drummer called a second strike on a breaking ball that appeared to cross the plate below batter Devon Mims' knees - low enough that UNO catcher Jorge Tejeda caught it just above the dirt behind the plate.
