Chip Hale, Diamondbacks Credit Peter Bourjos With Clean Slide

After watching his catcher get clipped on Peter Bourjos' hard slide home and subsequently airmail a throw that allowed the Cardinals to score the winning run in a 4-3 walk-off victory Wednesday, Arizona manager Chip Hale slipped out of the dugout to have a few words with home-plate umpire Eric Cooper.

The Arizona Diamondbacks got exactly the play they wanted in the 9th inning of Wednesday’s game. After bringing in Mark Trumbo from right field to play first base, the Diamondbacks had five infielders–three on the left side and two outfielders to try and cut down Peter Bourjos scoring the winning run from third base.
