Balkovec was arguing a call at first base while the Tarpons were trailing 1-0, saying the Daytona Tortugas' first baseman had come off the bag on a double play. But Isabella Robb wasn't having it, so she threw Balkovec out of the game.

Daytona scored two more runs in the top of the ninth, but Tampa rallied for four runs in the bottom half to win the game in walk-off fashion.
