HP Umpire Brian Gorman ejected Cardinals pinch hitter Lance Berkman for arguing a strike call in the top of the 7th inning of the Cardinals-Brewers game. With two on and one out, Berkman took a 3-1 Snider from Brewers pitcher Randy Wolf for a called second strike and attempted to check his swing on a 3-2 cutter for a swinging third strike. Replays indicate the 3-1 pitch was located belt high and several inches inside while Berkman appeared to have attempted to strike the 3-2 pitch, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Brewers were leading, 3-2. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
This is Brian Gorman (9)'s first ejection of 2012.
Brian Gorman now has -2 points in the UEFL (0 Previous + 2 MLB + -4 Incorrect Call = -2).
Crew Chief Brian Gorman now has 3 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (3 Previous + 0 Incorrect = 3).
*Though the swinging strike call was correct, the previous 1-3 strike call was not, rendering QOC incorrect.
