CHICAGO -- The plate umpire in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday night said he was "dead wrong" in overturning a call that led to Cubs manager Joe Maddon being ejected for the second time in the series.

With the Cubs leading 3-2 in the top of the eighth inning and a runner on first base, Dodgers outfielder Curtis Granderson swung at a two-strike pitch as the ball bounced in front of catcher Willson Contreras.

Initially, plate umpire Jim Wolf signaled Granderson was out, but after Dodgers manager Dave Roberts protested, Wolf got together with the other five umpires. As they huddled, replays of the swing were shown on the video board that seemed to indicate Granderson never made contact with the ball.

The umpires never looked at the replay and instead called it a foul ball.

Maddon went ballistic, arguing with all six umpires and pointing at the video board, but to no avail. He was eventually ejected, and Granderson struck out on the next pitch.

The Cubs held on for their first win of the series.

Wolf admitted afterward that he was "dead wrong" on the call, saying, "I talked myself into the whole thing."

Wolf said afterward he heard "two distinct, separate sounds'' on the pitch, believing the first to be the pitch bouncing in the dirt and the second being the pop of the catcher's mitt.

Maddon didn't buy the "two sounds'' explanation at the moment and roared at several members of the crew. He wasn't buying it afterward, either.

Maddon said after the game "the process was wrong."

"I'm not gonna sit here and bang on umpires. ... But that can't happen. The process was horrible," Maddon said. "To have that changed -- if Granderson hits the next pitch out, I might come running out of the clubhouse in my jockstrap."
