HP Umpire Chris Conroy ejected Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez for Unsportsmanlike Conduct-NEC in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Braves-Cubs game. With two out and none on, Cubs batter David DeJesus took a 2-0 fastball from Braves pitcher Eric O'Flaherty for a hit by pitch. Replays indicate the first two balls were inside and the 2-0 pitch hit DeJesus in the back. Conroy immediately gave a warning to O'Flaherty, the Cubs dugout, and then the Braves dugout. Gonzalez subsequently came to the plate to argue the warnings issued by Conroy, the call is irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Cubs were leading, 2-1. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 5-1.
This is Chris Conroy (98)'s first ejection of 2012.
Chris Conroy now has 3 points in the UEFL (0 Previous + 3 AAA + 0 Irrecusable Call = 3).
Crew Chief Jerry Layne now has 1 point in the Crew Division (0 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 1).
*This call is irrecusable under UEFL Rule 6-2-b-5.
