Notes & reviews

  • HP umpire Wally Bell called the third pitch to Morgan Ensberg a ball; catcher David Ross told Bell that he disagreed; Bell took off his mask and came around in front of the plate and lecture Ross; the next pitch was low but pitcher Todd Coffey walked off the mound and screamed at Bell; Coffey was ejected by Bell
