Replays indicate Mancini, after passing first base, continued up the foul line while looking at the overthrown ball and very slightly moved to his left, such that Mancini passed first base in foul territory and ended up stepping into fair territory. Play was reviewed and OVERTURNED by the UEFL Appeals Board (7-0), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejections, the A's were leading, 2-0. The A's ultimately won the contest, 6-4.
