Cook will be in in the 8th I presume if it's tied or with a lead.

Gah - guess it was the right call.

rule 3.16 - No interference shall be allowed when a fielder reaches over a fence, railing, rope or into a stand to catch a ball. He does so at his own risk. However, should a spectator reach out on the playing field side of such fence, railing or rope, and plainly prevent the fielder from catching the ball, then the batsman should be called out for the spectator's interference.

Still sucks

It's close. I'm not sure if the ball would have crossed the yellow line. But I guess it's still too close to call the batter out...

But I agree, sucks big time.

No, Melvin doesn't trust our all star reliever for some odd reason
