Minor League Ejection of Week: Jeff Gosney (2, 3, 4)

Welcome to the Minor League Ejection of the Week, showcasing the brightest Triple-A talent and biggest MiLB meltdowns and a "Thank You" to UEFL'er Russ, who has been filling us in on all the AAA ejection action.

Gosney ejects Saveur.

This week's ejection is courtesy of AAA umpire Jeff Gosney, who threw out three Pawtucket Red Sox: Manager Arnie Beyeler, Pitching Roach Rich Sauveur and pitcher Jose De La Torre following a home run (reversed) call. At the MLB level, Jeff Kellogg's crew doled out two ejections for a reversed call of their own.

In the bottom of the 8th inning of the International League's Wilkes-Barre Yankees-Pawtucket Red Sox contest, with one out and one on, Yankees batter Melky Mesa hit a 0-0 fastball from De La Torre to deep left field and toward the foul pole. Initially ruled a foul ball by home plate umpire Gosney, after consultation with crewmates Chris Ward (1B) and A.J. Johnson (3B, working at the second base "B" position, or "Position 3"), the call was reversed to that of a home run. Limited replays do not indicate the flight of the ball relative to the foul line, the call is inconclusive. At the time of the ejections, the Yankees (Scranton/WB) were leading, 8-2. The Yankees (Scranton/WB) ultimately won the contest, 8-5.
