Ejection 110: Paul Nauert (1)

1B Umpire Paul Nauert ejected Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia for unsportsmanlike conduct-NEC (arguing a previous inning's call) in the top of the 9th inning of the Rangers-Red Sox game. In the bottom of the 8th, with one out and none on, Pedroia attempted to check his swing on a 0-2 curveball from Rangers pitcher Mike Adams, ruled a swinging strike on appeal by Nauert. Pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-2-b-5, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Rangers were leading, 5-3. The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 6-3.

This is Paul Nauert (39)'s first ejection of 2012.
Paul Nauert now has 2 points in the UEFL (0 Previous + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call = 2).
Crew Chief Dana DeMuth now has 4 points in the Crew Division (3 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 4).

This is the 110th ejection of 2012.
This is the 44th player ejection of 2012.
This is the Red Sox's 7th ejection of 2012, 1st in the AL East (BOS 7; TOR 4; NYY 3; BAL, TB 2).
This is Dustin Pedroia's first ejection since August 19, 2008 (Bob Davidson; QOC = Correct).
This is Paul Nauert's first ejection since July 3, 2010 (Bruce Bochy; QOC = Incorrect).
