Listening on radio- initially they said army caught it then ruled a home run. Enlighten me.

Not sure, he didn’t catch it. Just got over the wall

Thanks. I think the radio guy (not Jeremy B today) just didn’t see it correctly.

Yeah, it was close. Army CF went into the wall and just missed. If he had gotten there sooner, he might have had a chance to reach over the wall and grab it, but he wasn’t able to.

He came off the wall and jogged off the field so he knew it was gone. From where the announcer sits, it would have been tough to see.
