With two out and one on, Wilson took a 2-2 pitch from Red Wings pitcher Wily Peralta for a called third strike. After the call, Wilson animatedly tapped his helmet to signify a challenge request, which HP Umpire Ghani acknowledged with a head-tap of his own, resulting in an overturned ruling as the computer deemed the pitch low for ball three.
LeCroy was then ejected for arguing a combination of the replay result and Ghani's acceptance of Wilson's challenge. By rule, a pitch location challenge filed by the batter, pitcher, or catcher shall occur immediately after the call in question and replays indicate that although Wilson did react to the initial call, he fairly quickly signaled a challenge via the hand-to-head gesture.
LeCroy was previously ejected by Taka Matsuda in May, during a game in which both teams combined for six unsuccessful challenges as the quasi-Automated Ball Strike System (challenge) computer upheld all six Matsuda pitch calls.
