Jose Fuentes of the Yard Goats decided to have some fun and took a swing as the ball rolled on.
The umpire didn't see the humor in the swing and called a swinging strike on Fuentes, who was then tagged out by the Rumble Ponies catcher.
The evening proved to be a total loss for the Yard Goats, as Binghamton managed to squeak out a 5-4 victory.
