We're in the middle of the fifth and in the midst of an umpire delay.
Home-plate umpire Booter West was hit on a backswing in the bottom of the third. He stuck around for another nine outs, but the crew has decided that West has had it for the night. West and crew chief Chris Ward are back in the clubhouse. Ward will be putting on the gear and West will take his off.
8:53: Ward is back and the Barons are warming up for the bottom of the fifth. We'll continue with two umpires.
UPDATE: West was hit "square in the mask" with a foul ball. He said he's "questionable" for Sunday, depending on how he feels.
