Ejection 155: Todd Tichenor (2)

HP Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the 1st inning of the Marlins-Nationals game. With two out and none on, Marlins batter Giancarlo Stanton hit a 3-1 fastball from Nationals pitcher Ross Detwiler for a home run. Replays indicate the 2-1 pitch was located at the hollow of the knee and over the heart of home plate (sz_bot = 1.620, pz = 1.662), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Marlins were leading, 2-0. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 7-6, in 10 innings.

Todd Tichenor now has 2 points in the UEFL (4 Previous + 2 MLB + -4 Incorrect Call = 2).
Crew Chief Brian Gorman now has 7 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (7 Previous + 0 = 7).
