College baseball podcaster drops home-run ball, gets clowned by announcers

Credit: Southern Conference If you ever screw up, hope that the announcers for Mercer Bears baseball don’t see you do it. They will be relentless. Ben Upton found that out the hard way on Thursday.
The co-founder of the college baseball podcast 11Point7 was standing atop the Green Monster at Fluor Field in Greenville, South Carolina, as the Mercer Bears took on The Citadel Bulldogs in the Southern Conference Tournament. He was in a prime position to catch a 9th-inning home run by the amazingly named Titan Kamaka. However, despite having an unobstructed opportunity to make the catch, Upton muffed it, and the ball sailed through his hands.
And all of this was captured by cameras and witnessed by the Mercer play-by-play announcer, who refused to discuss anything else. A solo shot for Titan Kamaka. #GoodToGreat | #WinnersWin pic.
