Umpire Ron Kulpa admits he blew controversial call in Mets win over Marlins By Zac Wassink | Last updated 4/8/21
What everybody who was watching Thursday s game between the New York Mets and Miami Marlins and also those who have seen a replay of the contest s final pitch knows to be true has been confirmed: The game s decisive run should not have counted.
Per Michael Blinn of the New York Post, home plate umpire and crew chief Ron Kulpa admitted after the game that New York s Michael Conforto should not have been awarded first base and the game-winning RBI after the ball struck his elbow as it dangled over the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning of what had been a 2-2 contest.
