The NCAA has been accused of “rigging” Game 2 of the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday.
It’s an ump show on Sunday. LSU is taking on Coastal Carolina in Game 2 of the Men’s College World Series on Sunday. The Tigers are one win away from clinching a national championship after winning Game 1 on Saturday, 1-0. Coastal Carolina is not off to a good start on Sunday.

Coastal Carolina head coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling have both been ejected in the bottom of the first inning at Charles Schwab Field. Video of the ejections has gone viral on social media.
The two coaches were apparently arguing balls and strikes, telling the home plate umpire that he “already missed three calls” on Sunday afternoon.

ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan was among those outraged by the ejections.
“There are very few combinations of words in the English language that warrant ejecting a coach from an elimination game in the Men’s College World Series finals. And yet Coastal Carolina’s Kevin Schnall — and first-base coach Matt Schilling — just got run in the first inning,” he wrote.

He added: “‘You missed three pitches’ does not qualify as one of those combinations. If this is all it took for Kevin Schnall to get ejected, that is absurd.”
Fans are accusing the NCAA of “rigging” Game 2 for LSU on Sunday afternoon.
“CWS is rigged for SEC,” one fan wrote.
“Tell me the CWS is rigged without telling me it’s rigged..” one fan added.
“This is so rigged,” one fan added.
“If you want to know what happened in the rigged #CWS just imagine Nick Saban got ejected 1 minute into the NATTY over a missed holding call. That’s the equivalent of what just happened to Coastal The @ncaa should never allow Angel Campos to ever work a single game ever again,” one fan added.
The game surely isn’t “rigged” but the umpires definitely need to be held accountable for their crazy decision to eject two coaches on Sunday.
