And he draws a pitch timer violation. 0-1 before the first pitch. Then Schuessler hits a grounder to SS but beats the throw. Bases loaded. 
 

This may be challenged. 

[Blake Munroe]

The play is overturned. End of inning.

It was. Schuessler plays first well for a righty.  

[Jeff Howe]

Kade Bing allowed a single but faced the minimum in the second after picking off the runner at first.

M2: Texas 1, Illinois 1
