Cole let home plate ump Brian Knight know about it as soon as he finished the sixth, and that was all Knight needed to see, as he threw Cole out of the game for the hurler&#8217;s first career ejection. &#8220;It&#8217;s obviously just an emotional moment. I mean, first career ejection and after it I was pretty upset,&#8221; Cole said. &#8220;I&#8217;m just a competitor, I&#8217;m just upset. The pitch before, I thought I dotted it.
