Scoreboard Glitch Sparks Wild Run | Boston Red Sox News
Description
A bizarre baseball blunder unfolded as the Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 2-1, but the real drama came from a scoreboard glitch that showed two outs when only one existed. In the seventh inning, runners bolted after the error, and when the second out was finally recorded, one had already scored. The Blue Jays appealed for a third out at first, but because the run crossed home plate before the appeal was completed, it counted — thanks to a “time play” ruling. Umpires had to dive into rulebook minutiae to resolve the chaos, turning a simple mistake into a 17-minute courtroom-style debate. It’s a rare, confusing moment that proves even elite teams can be tripped up by tech glitches and split-second decisions — and this one made for unforgettable radio drama.
