Wow, you don't see that very often. Credit the Iowa players for seeing it and the official.
It's a very unusual call. Typically a runner stops on 2nd and turns to go back to the base. In this circumstance the runner came off the 2nd base bag on the 3rd base side, which is technically past the base which required him to tag the base before heading back to first. Definitely an odd play that you do not see very often.
How’s the ump call that a ball after the several strikes he’s called so far?
Marcus gets ahead 0-2. Gets screwed on low, outside pitch. FB 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, Walk.
That was a K

W/P runner advances to 2nd. Looks like it's Jack time. Low, outside has been a K today, except last AB.
He’s rung up Iowa at least twice on pitches outside the zone and didn’t give it to Morgan there. Add in the close play at the plate and he’s 4 calls in favor of Michigan and 0 toward Iowa. If they even out, fine. But there can’t be that big of a disparity.
Marcus Morgan is done for the day.
His line:
4 innings pitched
18 batters faced
85 pitches (45 strikes, 40 balls)
2 Hits allowed
5 walks
2 Wild pitches
1 Hit batter
3 strike outs
1 earned run

The walk bug strikes Morgan yet again. This season has proven that batters struggle hitting him when he can throw strikes. The inability to do so is incredibly maddening to watch not only as an Iowa fan but a fan of the game as well.
EDIT: JFC. Walks absolutely kill.

Helped Michigan out with another walk....bases loaded and nobody out.
