MLB Ejection 050: Vic Carapazza (1; Joe Girardi)

2B Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Yankees Manager Joe Girardi for arguing an out call at second base in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Red Sox-Yankees game. With none out and one on, Yankees batter Ichiro Suzuki hit a 2-2 fastball from Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester on the ground to Lester, who threw to shortstop Stephen Drew covering second base, baserunner R1 David Adams out at second. Replays indicate Drew successfully caught Lester's wide throw while keeping his left foot in contact with second base, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 2-0. New York ultimately won the contest, 4-1.

Carapazza correctly rules "out" on the force.
