Kirkwood’s rear left tire clipped the front of Rosenqvist’s vehicle and he lost control. The tire flew off Kirkwood’s car and over the fence along the track. Kirkwood hit the wall, went airborne and flipped over. The damaged vehicle skidded down the track and the red flag came out.

The tire flew into the parking lot and, luckily, didn’t hit anybody. One vehicle appeared to be damaged.

Kirkwood was able to leave his crashed vehicle under his own power as he left the track to get checked out at the infield care facility.

He said after, "Thank God these cars are so safe."

The rest of the race field went around the track three times before they awaited the restart with 14 laps to go.

Kirkwood and Rosenqvist were having good days at the track before the crash. Rosenqvist finished in fourth place at last year’s event. Kirkwood finished in 17th.

Palmyra-Macedon had runners in scoring position when the batter swung and missed at the pitch and was presumably out. However, the pitch appeared to graze the dirt, which meant the catcher had to tag the batter or throw the ball to first to complete the out.

Instead, Hornell players began to celebrate.

As the celebration was ongoing, the two Palmyra-Macedon runners came around to score. They would be declared the winners of the championship, 6-5. One of the infielders was seen trying to tell his teammates that the play was still ongoing as he sprinted in the dirt but it was too late.

Palmyra-Macedon would celebrate the win as Hornell was left shocked.

"So, is this the way it’s gonna end?" the broadcaster was heard saying.

The Hornell baseball coach was out there trying to get a clarification from the umpire while his players were stunned and held their hands over their heads.

Palmyra-Macedon became back-to-back sectional champions with the win, according to the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.
