Ejections: Vic Carapazza (5)

HP Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Mets Batting Coach Dave Hudgens for arguing a strike three call to end the bottom of the 5th inning of the Padres-Mets game. With two out and three on, Mets batter Nick Evans took a 1-2 slider from Padres pitcher Cory Luebke for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located thigh high and over the inner half of home plate, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Mets were leading, 2-0. The Padres ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This is Vic Carapazza (85)'s fifth ejection of 2011.
Vic Carapazza now has 11 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (6 Previous + 3 AAA + 2 Correct Call = 11).

This is the 154th ejection of 2011.
