Homer Hero Ejected in NCAA Tournament Drama

Summary
- Georgia baseball player Tre Phelps ejected after go-ahead homer.
- Coach Wes Johnson also ejected for arguing Phelps' dismissal.
- Phelps will miss next game due to ejection.
In a dramatic turn of events during an NCAA tournament game, Georgia baseball player Tre Phelps was ejected following a go-ahead, two-run home run against Liberty. Phelps hit a towering shot in the sixth inning to give his team a 2-1 lead. However, his subsequent display of emotion and gestures towards the Liberty bench led to his dismissal from the game.
Georgia coach Wes Johnson was also ejected after attempting to argue the decision on the field. The ejection means Phelps, a junior and first-team All-SEC selection, will miss his team's next crucial matchup. This incident occurred shortly after Arizona State's Landon Hairston, the Big 12 player of the year, was also ejected from a regional game for bat-throwing.
