College Pitcher Absolutely Destroys Opponent on Basepath After Go-Ahead Home Run

Just imagine how popular baseball would be if they allowed tackling.

College baseball is in full swing as Weatherford hosted North Central Texas College for a doubleheader on Wednesday as part of North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference play. In the top of the sixth inning of the first game, NCTC’s Josh Phillips cracked a home run that put the Lions up 3-2 on the Coyotes.

Weatherford’s pitcher was not having it, and tackled the hell out of Phillips.

Phillips did get up following getting crushed and made sure to touch home base.

Twitter had some thoughts:

This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen! https://t.co/Qrf4KbUpKx

Someone needs to get that pitcher to try out for football in the fall.
