Interesting Call
The Astros and Braves are tied at six in the middle of the fourteenth. At the end of the top of the 13th, Ausmus foul tipped a ball that clanged off McCann, and eventually he caught it. Brad argued, as he said it hit McCann's equipment first. The broadcasters checked the rule book, and it is a catch if it hits the glove or hand of the catcher first. They looked at the replay and thought it hit the shoulder pad of the chest protector first, but I think it grazed the bare hand, so the umpires got it right.

I was watching and it didnt look like it on the replays I saw, but that is a tough call to make.
