I don't remember the teams, think it was Davidson?? behind the plate?

Thanks

Think it may have been Marty Foster (who took a direct hit on the left forearm later in the game, had to leave for x-rays, but thankfully didn't have it broken). He was 3BX, shaded toward 1B, on a bang-banger swipe tag on Uggla (no collision as in OP). Can't say that 1BX would have had a better look or not.
