13 innings into the Saturday night’s battle between Clemson and Tennessee, Tigers freshman outfielder Cam Cannarella was tossed for a seemingly harmless exchange with Vols baserunner Zane Denton.
As both players headed back to their respective dugouts, the chirping continued and Angel Campos saw fit to end Cannarella’s day right there.

“That’s former MLB umpire Angel Campos, who has worked several Big West baseball games, who threw out Cam Cannarella,” noted ESPN Honolulu’s Josh Pacheco.

“Cool. So if Clemson loses tonight they’ll be without their best player — and the ACC Freshman of the Year — with their season on the line tomorrow afternoon because he said mean words to a Tennessee squad that has talked more trash than any team in the sport the last few years,” a fan tweeted.

We’ll see if this ends up biting the Tigers in extras.
