In the third inning, Keeter faced retaliation from Austin Peay’s Peyton Jula. Keeter was thrown at him, resulting in the ejection of Jula, catcher Trevor Conley, and head coach Ronald Fanning.
Fanning raised her eyebrows as she approached to discuss the ejection with the home plate umpire who was holding a two-liter soda bottle. Fanning held up the soda bottle to the crowd as he walked off the field. He sees Jula going back to the bus for the rest of the game.
