MLB Ejection 093 - Ben May (1; Dusty Baker)

HP Umpire Ben May ejected Astros manager Dusty Baker (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the #Astros-#Athletics game. With none out and none on, Astros batter Martin Maldonado took a 3-2 fastball from A's pitcher Zach Jackson for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and knee-high (px -0.37, pz 1.47 [sz_bot 1.48 / RAD 1.36]) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Athletics were leading, 3-2. The Athletics ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

Ben May now has 6 points in the UEFL Standings (2 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 6).
