What Happened

In a heated matchup between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Auburn Tigers, a bizarre scene unfolds on the baseball diamond. In the top of the fifth inning, with Kentucky leading 5-0, the Auburn dugout starts getting rowdy, cheering loudly during a 2-2 count. The umpire, clearly frustrated, yells at the Auburn players to "stop" and "knock it off." One of the Auburn players, whose name is not provided, then asks, "What are we doing?" The umpire responds, "We're not doing that," referring to the players' antics. However, the Auburn players continue their behavior, pretending to row a boat in the dugout. The umpire warns them again, saying, "I just told you to be quiet, so let's be loud. Hope he doesn't get mad at us," mocking the players' actions. Frustrated, the umpire decides to take action. He approaches the dugout and addresses the players, saying, "Are we doing this? Are you guys going to row that boat? I told them to stop rowing the boat, they keep rowing the boat. The other team's going to get upset, we're going to have a situation on our hands." As the situation escalates, the umpire spots another Auburn player dancing on the dugout railing. He tells the player, "I'll tell the coach," but the player continues his behavior. Exasperated, the umpire ejects two Auburn players, saying, "Right there, you're done. You, right there, you're done. Go row that boat in the parking lot." The ejected players are confused, with one thinking he was the one ejected and leaving the field, only to realize the umpire was still looking for the other player. Once the second player is identified and ejected, he exits through the crowd, prompting the umpire to say, "Why don't you just leave the way you came? No more jokes, why don't you just leave the way you came?" The incident has the crowd and the remaining Auburn players riled up, with one player returning to the dugout railing, seemingly ready to continue the boat-rowing antics. However, the umpire quickly ejects him as well, wanting to avoid any further disruptions. The game continues, with the umpire instructing the Auburn players to "turn their back to the game" and not watch, essentially punishing them for their behavior.
