A controversial non-catch call in the seventh inning proved to be costly for Virginia during the ACC Baseball Tournament on Friday against Florida State.
With FSU leading 7-2, Cavaliers outfielder Bobby Whalen nearly made an incredible leaping catch in centerfield on a ball hit by Daniel Cantu. However, umpires ruled that the ball came out of Whalen’s glove before he had full control.

Replay appeared to show Cantu taking multiple steps before losing the ball, but the call was not overturned upon review. You can see the play below:
Instead of the score being 7-2 heading to the bottom of the seventh, Florida State scored four runs in the inning to take an 11-2 lead.
That became incredibly significant as Virginia scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. However, instead of the game being tied, Virginia still trailed 11-7.
