In the third inning of an SEC softball game between Alabama and Ole Miss on Monday, Crimson Tide player Bailey Hemphill crushed what she thought was a game-tying home run.

There was just one problem: While celebrating with her teammates, Hemphill jumped over home plate and failed to touch it.

As a result, she was tagged out and Ole Miss went on to win 5-4.
