Boise hitting coach Bill Buckner was ejected in the bottom of the 3rd inning (arguing called third strike on CF Kevin Encarancion that was never thrown - umpire thought Encarnacion was taking too long to get back into batter's box after arguing the second called strike)... Canadians CF Chaz Frank was ejected in the top of the 5th inning (after being picked off at 1B).
