LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeob was ejected from the 'Jamsil Rivalry Game' against the Doosan Bears.
On the 11th, a game between Doosan and LG was held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.
LG trailed 1-2 in the bottom of the 5th inning. Lead-off hitter Moon Seong-joo reached base with a single to left field. Next, Lee Ju-heon hit a ground ball along the third base line. Third baseman Kang Seung-ho attempted a diving catch but the ball fell out of his glove. Third baseman Kang Seung-ho quickly retrieved it and threw to second base for the out.
Runner on first base Moon Seong-joo hesitated, thinking he was out on a line drive, before returning to first base. Batter-runner Lee Ju-heon also stepped on first base. Doosan's second baseman threw to the first baseman, tagging Moon Seong-joo and Lee Ju-heon, who were both on first base.
Afterward, the umpire declared a dead ball. There was one out and a runner on first base. Doosan's manager Lee Seung-yeop briefly came out to appeal the first base situation to the umpires.
This time, manager Yeom Kyung-yeob went out to appeal the decision of one out and a runner on first base. Manager Yeom became agitated while talking to the umpires. When the umpire declared his ejection, manager Yeom shoved umpire Lee Young-jae.
Subsequently, the umpire staff stated, 'Manager Yeom Kyung-yeob was ejected for cursing at the umpire.'
