We had an epic hidden-ball trick at the NCAA Baseball Tournament on Sunday evening.
Clemson pulled it off against Coastal Carolina in epic fashion. The Tigers went on to win the Clemson Regional and they are now heading to the Super Regional.
Marc Whiteman shared video of the trick.
“ELITE HIDDEN BALL TRICK BY BLAKE WRIGHT,” he wrote.

Baseball fans loved it.
“I’d do this too if I hadn’t seen a Super in 13 years, don’t blame them,’ one fan joked.
“Very surprised more teams don’t do this. It’s brilliant because no one pays attention,” one fan added.
“Absolutely LOVE a good hidden ball trick,” one fan added.
Not everyone loved it, though.
“This isn’t about the name on the jersey, but a legit baseball question for all of these plays … is the play not called dead until the pitcher toes the rubber WITH THE BALL?” one fan wondered.
Regardless, it worked to perfection on Sunday night.
Clemson topped Coastal Carolina, 12-5, in the Regional Final on Sunday evening. The Tigers, the No. 6 overall seed, is now just two wins away from the College World Series in Omaha.
