The Angels ultimately won the contest, 9-3.

Umpire Odds & Ends: Injured Umpires
Over the past couple of days, we have had a few individuals bringing up the fact many umpires have suffered injury and are not on the field. In the Umpire Forum, Jon Terry and anonymous gave us some great information as to the umpire injures, and umpires that are out. As we previously mentioned, Mark Wegner injured his calf in May and had what was likely season-ending surgery. Mike Muchlinksi is currently filling in for Wegner. Unfortunately, the injury bug continues to strike. A look at some of these injuries:
The July 4th Detroit Tigers broadcast reported that Jim Joyce is out for the season with a knee injury. Joyce had not umpired since June 9th. John Tumpane has received the fill-in role for Joyce. Jim Joyce has 4 ejections and 16 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
All-Star Game second base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt has not umpired since June 26th due to a head injury he suffered in that day in a game between the Indians and Giants. Wendelstedt took a ball off the side of the mask and continued the inning behind the plate, but after being evaluated by a trainer left. The incident can be seen here. Wendelstedt has no ejections and 1 point in the 2011 UEFL season.
Paul Schrieber has not umpired since May 10th. He has been out with an undisclosed injury. Schrieber missed significant time in 2010 due to injury. Angel Campos has largely filled the duties for Schrieber in his absence. Schrieber has 1 ejection and -2 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
Lance Barksdale has been missing in action since June 5th. Filling in at times for Barksdale is Alan Porter. Barksdale has 1 ejection and 4 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
Paul Nauert has been out since June 12th, and since has had his spot filled by Vic Carapazza. Nauert has no ejections and 0 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
John Hirschbeck has also been out since June 12th, his spot has been filled in by various umpires due to his Crew Chief status. Wally Bell has served as acting crew chief at times in Hirschbeck's absence. Hirschbeck has 0 ejections and 0 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
Tim Tschida has not umpired since June 16th, with Mike Estabrook filling the vacant spot on his crew. Jeff Nelson has acted at times as acting crew chief. Tschida has 2 ejections and 2 points in the 2011 UEFL season.
This is in addition to Todd Tichenor filling in all year long for the injured Bill Hohn.
During tonight's action, there were 12 non-MLB hired umpires working fill in duties:
Cory Blaser - Third Base Rockies at Braves
Vic Carapazza - Second Base Blue Jays at Indians
