There are no ties in baseball because all ties go to the umpire and the umpire always calls the out!

Exactly. There are ties...we just don't call them ties, we call them "outs."
It always reminds me of a story an umpire associate used to tell about this guy who had a banger at 1st base and called, "Two!!!" really loudly. When the puzzled 1st base coach asked what he meant by "Two!!!" the umpire told him, "too damn close to call!"
