MLB Ejection 095: Vic Carapazza (2; Ron Gardenhire)

HP Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire for arguing an interference (batter-runner's) call in the top of the 8th inning of the Twins-Yankees game. With none out and one on, Twins batter Clete Thomas hit a 1-1 fastball from Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes on the ground in front of the mound,

Thomas ruled out after not running within lane.

Hughes fielding the ball and throwing towards first baseman Lyle Overbay. Replays indicate Thomas ran to the inside of the three-foot runner's lane down the first base line (in fair territory) and in doing so interfered with F3 Overbay taking the throw at first base, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Twins were leading, 2-1. The Twins ultimately won the contest, 4-1.

This is Vic Carapazza (85)'s second ejection of 2013.
Vic Carapazza now has 8 points in the UEFL (4 + 2 + 2 = 8).
Crew Chief Gary Cederstrom now has 2 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (1 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 2).
