An umpire appeared to have crossed the line during an American Athletic Conference baseball matchup between Central Florida and Wichita State on Friday night.
Knights infielder Andrew Brait was at bat and caught a pitch from right-hander Nate Snead. Brait didn’t volunteer, as he seemed to be outside and a bit tall. However, the plate umpire hit him for a called third strike.

Brait appeared to be upset with home plate umpire Jimmy Paylor after he was called out. The feed appeared to catch Paylor yelling at Brait, «Fuck you!»
The Central Florida bank appeared to have a few words for Paylor after the interaction.
