Ejection 006: Dale Scott (1)

HP Umpire Dale Scott ejected Padres Manager Bud Black for arguing a fair ball call in the top of the 9th inning of the Padres-Dodgers game. With none out and two on, Padres batter Jesus Guzman squared to bunt a 0-0 fastball from Dodgers pitcher Javy Guerra, attempting to avoid being hit by the pitch before the ball rebounded toward home plate from the right handed batter's box. Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis retrieved the ball near home plate, throwing to third baseman Juan Uribe to shortstop Dee Gordon to first baseman James Loney for a triple play. Replays indicate the ball hit Guzman's bat and was first contacted by Ellis in fair territory, in front of home plate and within the left handed batter's box, the call was correct. The call is now incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 4-4. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 5-4.

This is Dale Scott (5)'s first ejection of 2012.
