Getting hot here

Posted by Greg Lee, Globe Staff August 18, 2008 09:21 AM

With one catcher knocked out of the game with an injury from a collision with a runner, another American ran over the backup Chinese catcher to score.

It was more than enough for the former major league manager Jim Lefebvre could take for his Chinese ball club. He came out with a profanity-laced tirade to the umpire saying the runner used his forearm to run over his catcher.

Meanwhile, the Americans lead 5-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning one out and a man on second.
