Arizona State standout Landon Hairston was ejected from the regional elimination game against Nebraska, with ASU holding a 5-1 lead.
Hairston, who broke the school record for home runs in a single season with 28 home runs, took a called strike three from pitcher Cooper Katsee in the fourth inning. He flipped his bat several feet in the air after the call.
The umpires conferred, then announced the ejection.
At the end of the inning, the game was delayed, as Hairston was walked to the locker room by coach Willie Bloomquist to the roars of the home crowd.
Kyler McGary replaced Hairston in the outfield.
The Sun Devils extended their lead to 6-1 after 5 innings.
The ejection also means ASU's leader in virtually every offensive category will have to sit out the next game should ASU advance to the region title game later on May 31.
Ole Miss, the team to whom ASU lost in 14 innings in the opener, is the opponent looming for the winner.
