LSU vs. Coastal Carolina in the MCWS: 1 reason each team will win
The Southwest Times Record’s Jackson Fuller breaks down one reason LSU will win the Men’s College World Series and one reason Coastal Carolina will win.
A controversial call was made in the bottom of the first inning of Game 2 of the College World Series championship series between LSU and Coastal Carolina on June 22.
Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall, along with first base coach Matt Schilling, was ejected at Charles Schwab Field Omaha after arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire. Schnall appeared to tell the home plate umpire he missed three pitches in a row, with the umpire responding quick on the draw, tossing Schnall.
Schilling then came to add his thoughts after Schnall was ejected, which led to his removal as well. It’s not often coaches are ejected in win-or-go-home games, as Coastal Carolina looks to force a decisive Game 3 on June 23.
Here’s what to know of the umpiring staff for Game 2 of the national championship series at the College World Series:
Who is Angel Campos?
The umpiring crew for Game 2 of the national championship series between LSU and Coastal Carolina consists of Angel Campos, Casey Moser, Kellen Levy and Clint Fagan.
Campos, a former seven-year MLB umpire, is handling the home plate duties on June 22, and issued Schnall’s ejection after Schnall exited the dugout to argue balls and strikes. Campos umpired 585 games in his MLB career, according to Baseball Almanac. He issued 23 ejections in his seven seasons of work, before his final game on Sept. 3, 2014.
Campos was at the helm for a few notable ejections during his career in MLB, as he once ejected former Kansas City Royals catcher Matt Treanor in 2011 after Treanor was exchanging argument with Campos — despite not facing the umpire. Campos also ejected former Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp in 2012 when Kemp was arguing balls and strikes while in the dugout.
Campos is at home plate, whereas Moser is at first base, Levy is at second base and Fagan is at third base in Game 2 of the national championship series. Brian deBrauwere, Jeff Head, Gregory Street and Moser handled umpiring duties in Game 1.
