College pitcher flattens batter with vicious tackle after surrendering go-ahead home run
In the words of wrestling great Paul Heyman: “Gore! Gore! Gore!”
Pitchers have a tendency to take things a bit personally on the diamond, especially when opposing batters go yard off them.
Case in point: A matchup Wednesday between Weatherford College (Texas) and North Central Texas College briefly turned into an AEW-style Texas Death Match on the diamond.
A video shows Weatherford pitcher Owen Woodward demolishing North Central batter Josh Phillips as Phillips rounds third base after hitting a go-ahead home run against Woodward. Phillips is oblivious when the heat-seeking tackle comes in.
The benches emptied. Woodward was pulled away from the kerfuffle following the hit.

A second view of the video shows the base umpire pointing at Phillips as he heads for third, leading to the assumption that maybe the batter was talking a little bit of smack after the dinger.
Phillips had the presence of mind to exact the ultimate revenge: touching home plate to score the run after nearly being broken in half.
Well, if the whole baseball thing doesn’t work out for Woodward, Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher and others could probably use the linebacker help.
