BY JEFFREY LUTZ, The Wichita Eagle-
When the umpires made a late infield-fly call in the bottom of the first inning on Tuesday, it was evident the Wingnuts were about to become involved in the season's latest episode of manager drama.
Shreveport skipper Terry Bevington didn't disappoint. He was ejected shortly after he began protesting the call, which cost the Sports an out and a Wichita run.
But the agrument turned into a 15-minute spectacle with Bevington refusing to leave the field and Wingnuts manager Kash Beauchamp threatening to pull his team off it.
The Wingnuts managed to avoid more drama -- a more typical variety -- by breaking open a tie game with five runs in the sixth, propelling them to a 10-5 win at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
With the bases loaded and one out in the first, Wingnuts third baseman Michael Thompson hit a towering pop fly near the first base line. The umpires didn't call the infield fly, and when first baseman Adam Miller dropped the ball, Brenan Herrera attempted to score from third.
