With 2 outs Prairie had Dereck Arnzen on first by way of a fielder’s choice. Schumacher singled to right and Owen Anderson was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Schumacher took a huge lead off second and was almost halfway to third when he finally drew a throw. Arnzen took off from third and barreled into the catcher, who was about 6 feet up the baseline.
