Ejections: Lance Barksdale (1)

3B Umpire Lance Barksdale ejected Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel for arguing a check swing call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Mets-Phillies game. With two out and the bases loaded, Phillies batter Brian Schneider attempted to check his swing on a 2-2 slider from Mets pitcher Chris Young. Barksdale ruled that Schneider attempted to strike the ball for strike three. Replays indicate that Schneider attempted to strike the ball and was unable to check his swing, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Mets were leading, 1-0. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 2-1 in 14 innings.
