umpchange,7,ump2b,(None)
HP umpire Williams left when hit on arm by pitch; 2B umpire Pulli went behind plate and game finished with 3 umpires
Mets Hernandez ejected by HP umpire Pulli while playing first base for arguing a ball called on Dawson was the the same as one called a strike to Hernandez in top of inning
caught napping during intentional walk
