Umpire John Tumpane says he helped keep a woman from jumping off Pittsburgh's iconic Roberto Clemente Bridge hours before the Pirates' Wednesday night game against Tampa Bay.
Tumpane, 34, talking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said he was walking by after a jog and lunch when he saw the woman climb over a railing on the bridge, which is a few hundred yards from PNC Park.
"Obviously, that grabbed my attention," Tumpane said. "I asked a couple in front of me, 'What's this lady trying to do?' and they said, 'I don't know.' "
Tumpane, who worked Wednesday night's game as the home-plate umpire, approached the woman to ask what she was doing.
