ATLANTA (CBS46) - A security officer is being criticized for snatching a ball away from a 6 year-old boy during the Braves game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at SunTrust Park Wednesday night. The officer wasn't completely at fault because he was kicking a man out who had interfered with the ball while it was in fair play before giving it to the youngster.

An equipment malfunction during an altercation at a ballpark restaurant was the source of confusion in the top of the third, the Braves said Tuesday night.
