Senior Tyler Wilson of Lopes tied the game at eight runs apiece with a no-doubt grand slam in the fifth inning of Sunday’s series finale. The moment the ball left the bat, it was obvious that it was gone, and to cap off the spectacular explosion, Wilson held onto his bat briefly before tossing it high into the air as he approached the bag while trotting to first base.

It was a thrilling moment, but it led to Wilson being ejected for bat flipping.

Here’s a closer look at the bat flip.

Before the 2018 season, the NCAA changed its regulations to add bat flips to the list of actions that constitute unsportsmanlike behavior. Nevertheless, the regulation only addresses bat flips “near or toward opponents,” not outright prohibiting such revels. Wilson was dismissed despite not appearing to be targeting any one Nebraska player with his bat flip.

The Lopes lost the game 10–8 without Wilson, a senior who was one of the team’s best hitters the previous season. Blake Avila and Cannon Peery, who took Wilson’s position in the starting lineup following his ejection, both went 0-for-2.
