Ejections: Jerry Layne (1)

3B Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle for arguing an out (catch) call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Mets-Pirates game. With none out and none on, Pirates batter Lyle Overbay flied out to Mets center fielder Angel Pagan on a 3-1 pitch. Replays indicate that the ball did not hit the wall, but rather the ball entered the glove of Pagan as Pagan's glove was against the wall, the call was correct. Hurdle was simultaneously ejected by Layne and HP Umpire Bob Davidson; Layne is credited with the ejection as Crew Chief and per the official box score. At the time of the ejection, the Mets were leading, 1-0. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 7-0.
