Texas catcher Reese Atwood appeared to throw out Texas Tech baserunner Logan Halleman by good measure after the latter attempted to steal second base in the top of the fifth inning of Game 1 of the WCWS championship series.

Red Raiders coach Gerry Glasco quickly came out to challenge the out call to check if there was any obstruction.

Following a review, the umpires ruled that shortstop Leighann Goode interfered with the attempt to get to second base.

The call was met with plenty of controversy online.
