Ejection 116: Gary Darling (6)

HP Umpire Gary Darling ejected Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez for arguing a strike call in the top of the 7th inning of the Brewers-Astros game. With two out and three on, Gomez took a 2-2 cutter from Brewers pitcher Mickey Storey for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located knee high and over the inner half of home plate (-.577, -.853), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Astros were leading, 5-4. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 6-5, in 10 innings.

This is Gary Darling (37)'s sixth ejection of 2012.
Gary Darling now has 16 points in the UEFL (12 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 16).
