World Baseball Classic Ejection 02: Chris Segal (1)

HP Umpire Chris Segal ejected Israel catcher Charles Cutler for arguing a ball call in the top of the 10th inning of the Spain-Israel game. With none out and none on, Spain batter Engel Beltre took four pitches from Israel pitcher Josh Zeid for a walk. Replays indicate the 3-0 pitch may have been borderline, the call was inconclusive. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 7-7. Spain ultimately won the contest, 9-7.

This is Chris Segal (40)'s first ejection of the 2013 World Baseball Classic Qualifier Stage.
