Cedar Rapids Giants manager Bob Hartsfield sparked a heated argument with plate umpire Ed Koors in the seventh inning of a 19 loss to Wausau over whether Rafael Contreras struck out. Hartsfield defended his players as he was ejected, citing pitching charts and a series of tense calls. The Giants, hampered by a .201 team batting average and a 2.17 ERA for the staff, lost the finale to rain and prepare for a Danville series with Dan Belley to start Monday night.
