A college baseball game between New Orleans and Mississippi Valley State ended Friday night on an egregious called third strike.

On the next pitch, the New Orleans pitcher threw an obvious ball down and off the plate, but the home plate umpire called strike three, ending the game. 

"Oh my gosh! Wow! He got wrung up on ball two and the game is over," the announcer said. "Oh my goodness. That is horrific!"

The Privateers moved to 9-5 with the win while the Delta Devils fell to 6-7 on the year.
