MLB Ejection 043 - John Tumpane (1; Kyle Schwarber)

Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and below the midpoint (px .386, pz 3.511 [sz_top 3.371 / MOE 3.454 / RAD 3.579]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Cubs were leading, 6-1. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 6-1.

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