MiLB Ejection of Week: Ben May (1)

Umpire Ben May and the Toledo Mud Hens have our MiLB Ejection of the Week, with second baseman Danny Worth ejected between innings during Toledo's walk-off victory vs. the Indanapolis Indians on Thursday in AAA's International League. (Video: Fair/Foul call precedes inning break ejection)

Ejected during inning break after reaching base, scoring

With one out and none on in the bottom of the 6th inning, Worth hit a 0-1 fastball from Indians pitcher Bryan Morris down the right field line, ruled a foul ball by 1B Umpire May. Worth reached first base on the next pitch following what was ruled a passed ball and throwing error by Indians catcher Tony Sanchez and scored on consecutive singles by teammates Audy Ciriaco and Bryan Holaday. Though replays suggest the ball may have landed in fair territory, Worth was ejected arguing the call after the inning's conclusion, rendering QOC "irrecusable." At the time of the ejection, the Mud Hens were leading, 4-2. The Mud Hens ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
