MLB Ejections 171-172 - Bill Welke (3-4; CWS x2)

2B Umpire Bill Welke ejected White Sox pitcher Mike Wright and manager Tony La Russa (throwing at Angels batter Shohei Ohtani) in the top of the 9th inning of the #Angels-#WhiteSox game. With two out and none on, Angels batter Ohtani took a 2-1 fastball from Wright for a hit-by-pitch. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Ohtani on the lower leg; warnings had not previously been issued and Ohtani was the second hit batsman of the game, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejections, the Angels were leading, 9-3. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 9-3.

These are Bill Welke (3)'s 3rd and 4th ejections of 2021.
Bill Welke now has 9 points in the UEFL Standings (5 Prev + 2*[2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call] = 9).
Crew Chief Bill Welke now has 4 points in Crew Division (2 Previous + 2 QOCU = 4).

These are the 171st and 172nd ejection reports of the 2021 MLB regular season.
This is the 70th player ejection of 2021. Prior to ejection, Wright's line was 0.2 IP, HBP.
This is the 77th manager ejection of 2021.
This is Chicago's 7/8th ejection of 2021, 1st in the AL Central (CWS 8; KC, MIN 5; CLE, DET 2).
