P second game of today's (now actually this evening's) doubleheader has been a much better game than the first game: 1-1 in the bottom of the 4th inning.  In the top of the inning, Hao-Yu Lee was hit by a pitch.  In a tight game, putting him on intentionally would have been monumentally stupid on the part of the I-Cubs pitcher, but the umpire tossed the pitcher (this was after several minutes delay).  The I-Cubs manager was tossed after arguing (is this ejection mandatory after the pitcher was ejected? I don't know.) 

Then a couple of batters later, Tyler Gentry was called out for batter interference (on what I thought was a foul tip that bounced back onto the field of play, but obviously our seats parallel to 3rd base do not give us a view anywhere near what the home plate umpire has).

Gary Jones and Batting Coach Mike Hessman were then ejected for arguing the out call of Gentry.

Toledo has scored again, so it's 2-1 Toledo in the bottom of the 5th.

In the end, Mudhens took the second game 8-1 after hitting four home runs in the sixth inning.

A correction: Mudhens Pitching Coach Doug Bichtler was ejected, not Batting Coach Mike Hessman.  (I don't recall ever seeing Bochtler before, but did see Hessman bat several times when he was playing.  But I had no recollection of what he looks like.)
