HP Umpire Jeff Nelson ejected Nationals left fielder Jerry Hairston Jr. for arguing a safe call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Nationals-White Sox game. With two out and none on, White Sox batter Paul Konerko hit a 2-0 fastball from Nationals pitcher Henry Rodriguez to shortstop Ian Desmond to first basemen Michael Morse. 1B Umpire Mike Estabrook ruled Konerko out, but after conferring, overturned the call and ruled Morse failed to tag Konerko. Replays indicate no tag was applied to Konerko, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 2-0. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 9-5, in 14 innings.
This is Jeff Nelson (45)'s third ejection of 2011.
Jeff Nelson now has 11 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (8 Previous + 2 MLB + 1 Correct Call [Crewmate] = 11).
