A squirrel ran across home plate in the fifth inning of the NL division series game between the Phillies and Cardinals on Wednesday night. The squirrel ran across the plate shortly after Roy Oswalt delivered a pitch. Plate umpire Angel Hernandez called it a ball, and Oswalt and manager Charlie Manuel argued.

A Twitter account attributed to the squirrel has been active since Tuesday night (@BuschSquirrel).
