Ejection 109: Mike Everitt (2)

3B Umpire Mike Everitt ejected Rockies Manager Jim Tracy for arguing a reversed call (safe) by 1B Umpire Mike Estabrook in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Rockies-Dodgers game. With one on and two out, Dodgers batter Shane Victorino hit a 3-2 slider from Rockies pitcher Adam Ottavino on a sinking line drive to shallow center field, outfielder Dexter Fowler sliding in an attempt to catch the ball. Initially ruled an out, Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly argued, producing an umpire conference and a reversal to a trap. Replays indicate the ball skipped into Fowler's glove off of the grass, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Rockies were leading, 2-0. The Rockies ultimately won the contest, 2-0.

This is Mike Everitt (57)'s second ejection of 2012.
Mike Everitt now has 1 point in the UEFL (-2 Previous + 2 MLB + 1 Correct Call [Crewmate] = 1).
