Reds/Mets Batting Out of Order - Umps Kicked It

[tarheelcoach]

9th inning, Mets up 8-3. The correct order was supposed to be Corey Patterson, then Cody Ross. Ross actually hit first, and flied out to right on the first pitch. Mets manager Willie Randolph then came out and chaos ensued. After multiple meetings, Patterson was ruled out (correct), and Ross was sent up to hit again (also correct.) Ten minutes later, they are still discussing whether there is 1 out or 2.

What am I missing? Patterson can't be out twice. There's only one out, right?

Edit: After Ross singled in his second chance AB, the umpires got together again and changed the outs to 1 out. Neither manager was happy, but it looks like they finally got things right. Hard to believe that an experienced UIC like Dale Scott needed so much help to get this right.
