Ejection 118: Jerry Layne (1)

1B Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Giants Manager Bruce Bochy for arguing a safe call in the top of the 3rd inning of the Nationals-Giants game. With one out and three on, Nationals batter Roger Bernadina hit a 0-1 curveball from Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong back to the mound, deflected by Vogelsong and then fielded by second baseman Ryan Theriot, who threw to first baseman Brandon Belt. Replays indicate that Belt caught the ball with his foot on the bag prior to Bernadina touching first base, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 5-0. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 14-2.

This is Jerry Layne (24)'s first ejection of 2012.
Jerry Layne now has -2 points in the UEFL (0 Previous + 2 MLB + -4 Incorrect Call = -2).
Crew Chief Jerry Layne now has 6 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (6 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 6).
*After review, Quality of Correctness has been affirmed by the UEFL Appeals Board (5-0).
