You won't believe this miracle wild pitch from a college baseball game

Baseball is full of little miracles. An outfielder loses a ball in the lights, and it drops for a hit. A pitcher thinks he’s out of gas, but he finds just a little bit more in the tank to strike out his last batter. The ball lands in the first baseman’s glove a just millisecond before the runner hits the base. Those are all tiny miracles of baseball.

And then there are enormous, huge, unbelievable miracles of baseball. One of those miracles happened during a Division III college baseball game on Saturday. Texas Lutheran University was taking on Schreiner University, and TLU pitcher Jacob Wieder unleashed a wild pitch that could have been tragic for his team. But somehow, it wasn’t.

In case that play went by too fast, here’s what happened. Wieder threw the pitch wild, and it blew right past the catcher and into the padded backstop. The runners started, but the baseball bounced right back to home plate, where Wieder himself scooped it up and tagged the runner for the second out.

That pitch went from soul-crushing to glorious in the span of a single second. See, TLU had blown almost all of its 9-5 lead against Schreiner by allowing three runs in the ninth inning. When that wild pitch was thrown, the score was 9-8. Had Wieder not played some heads-up baseball right there, TLU would have lost the game. (Wieder managed to get one more out to secure the win for TLU.)

It’s worth mentioning that the announcer sounds less than excited about what’s going on. I can only assume the insane weirdness of that play rendered him totally speechless, and then after realizing he hadn’t been saying anything, he had to make up for it by sounding completely normal despite the absolutely bonkers play that just happened before his eyes.

Don’t worry about it, announcer guy. It happens to all of us.
