Defensive team is leading by one run in the bottom of the 7th, two outs, runner on second. Batter is called out on strikes but the catcher drops the ball. He picks it up and goes to tag the batter but it looks pretty clear that he misses. Home plate umpire gives the Safe signal and if you listen you can hear him call out "Safe". The catcher neither hears or sees him and puts the ball in his pocket and goes out to celebrate. Meanwhile the runner on second scores and the batter circles the bases for the winning run.
Most bizarre ending of a baseball game I've ever seen.
